NPM packages from RedHat have been compromised
> they've taken no action.
Not running lifecycle scripts by default is eventually going to be the default behavior. Late is worse than not at all. https://github.com/npm/rfcs/pull/868

Pnpm has a new setting to stave off supply chain attacks
There was an NPM RFC for this feature (though as focused on supply chain attacks) in 2022, but the main response mirrored some of the other comments in here.
"waiting a length of time doesn’t increase security, and if such a practice became common then it would just delay discovery of vulnerabilities until after that time anyways"

My failed attempt to shrink all NPM packages by 5%
I think the main TLDR here [1]:
> For example, I tried recompressing the latest version of the typescript package. GNU tar was able to completely compress the archive in about 1.2 seconds on my machine. Zopfli, with just 1 iteration, took 2.5 minutes.

Yarn 4.0
npm workspaces plus Wireit works far better than Lerna, in my experience.
https://github.com/google/wireit
Wireit's ability to specify actual script dependencies, do caching (and on Github actions), and it's long-running service script support make it much more useful and comprehensive than Lerna.
I agree that this should be built into npm. There's an RRFC for it here: https://github.com/npm/rfcs/issues/706

How do you know that the .exe or .apk file for an open source software on github is actually compiled from the viewable source code?
This just got accepted as a proposal in NPM: https://github.com/npm/rfcs/pull/626

Why aren't Node.js package managers interoperable?
npm also plans to support pnpm-style node_modules

Axios shipped a buggy version and it broke many productions apps. Let this be a lesson to pin your dependencies!
(I usually end up removing npm ci from CI/CD since I think it is way too slow and want to cache node_modules from previous builds; I'm waiting for https://github.com/npm/rfcs/issues/415 to land to make this fail-safe npm install --from-lockfile. Yarn does support this already)
