The massive bug at the heart of the npm ecosystem
 
 

The npm package's manifest and tarball are published independently, leading to inconsistencies and potential security risks.

🤔 Did you know?
 
 
In the early 1940s, a pivotal moment in computing history was quietly unfolding through the work of Grace Hopper, a rear admiral in the U.S. Navy and a computer scientist. She was instrumental in developing the first user-friendly programming language, which eventually led to the creation of COBOL. What makes this particularly striking is not just the technological leap, but the context: in an era dominated by manual computation and predominantly male engineers, Hopper's vision for machine-independent programming languages laid the groundwork for the modern software industry.
