Hello I am the author of this package manager. I have been using it now for a little while and loving it but would love feedback. Would you ever use this? I for a long time just was using npm so I understand why some would rather not change package managers. Have any questions? I did rewrite some things I am sure the security guys are going to really hate.

jpm was tested against the other package managers own tests. I also used it so I know it worked there. Human or AI the same question matters. Just because someone wrote pnpm, how did you know it worked? Someone used it. jpm is MIT licensed, as is with no warranty, the same as npm, pnpm and bun. It is a week old so using it on a mission critical feature means you probably need to test it. A human written package manager can have bugs just the same.

I am the author well the director I guess. I would love for people to try it out as it is nice and fast as well as plays well with the other package managers. I most did it at first to see if it was possible. It was working within a few hours and small. It took another 5 days of the agent looping on installing other popular packages and hardening it on windows, mac, and linux.

Please try it out and let me know what you think!

Can you add Postgres with PVector?

Maybe it is time to start a OpenCast project!

He tried at the beginning to say only when the DB gets too big should you even think about this but there are things you can do there as well.

It was all backend in 1998.

Sorry DLQs make it easier to do those alerts where a human needs to look asap at something. Not sure they can be gotten rid of, but maybe you call them something else.

This isn't cheating in my mind. They use tools available to them just like they will have on their job. I would ask clarifying questions and if they understand what they are saying then why does it matter that the memorized the answer vs memorized how to find the answer

They own the IP they can do what they e want. Seem like every few years some creator freaks out because they didn't like what you did and take it down. It is in their right to do so. Free Use can only be decided by a judge in the US. Until more band together a fight then nothing will change.

This is a project managers job not a engineering managers job.

Frameworks come and go. I rather give the credit to the creator not the company. It solved there problem and open sourcing it benefits them more not the community. Now they don't need to train new Facebook developers on some internal framework. Now 1000s of engineers move their framework forward vs only the ones they pay.

Yep sell shovels don't do the mining

The no VM thing I think is a downside. Sure raw performance is nice but not having a process eat all system cou resources is the true beauty of Erlang and Elixir to allow you to self heal. Are you handling that with this library?

Chat GPT can't write code so I am a little confused?

Has anyone written an OTP library on top of it?

So very human of us to think our truths are some other beings truths. Maybe they proved math isn't true? Maybe they don't think in any way like we do.

I think this really depends on what they are asking you to do. If part of the job is say writing documentation, moving and documenting your work with Jira tickets, report progress, or helping your team accomplish the sprint then maybe you need to build those skills to at least be ok at it. If it is to manage people or move up in job title then I would agree maybe that isn't something you should try for. You were not very specific on the details.

Also growth isn't always just building on strengths. It is also knowing where you are short on skill and learning more to at least do that skill ok and then maybe delicate or trade tasks with someone that is better at it. It is about understanding yourself.

This statement is what the older generation and companies want you to think. It doesn't have to be that way and companies and management need to change or people will leave for companies and management that think differently and want you to feel successful.

The event nature seems like a light version of Erlang or Elixir without the power of those. Erlang and Elixir can run millions of light weight processes though vs 1000s. Still so many questions though like what is deployment like? Build something using just workers so we can see the power of it.

I still use the python one out of habit.

Serverless is never cheaper than running on your own machines once you hit any scale. Just cheaper to start with. They want to hook you in so when you scale you pay them the big bucks.

What about stop using ORM abstractions as an option then it is much harder to forget needed filters?

I think this is thinking small. An AI doesn't need to use human readable programming languages or frameworks to solve problems. Also software engineers are expensive. Corporate greed will drive this faster.

Thinking like this is how you get factory objects in JavaScript or Elixir processes as objects. They are very different technologies that need to be written differently at the core.

I wouldn't call C# a young language anymore.

The bigger reason to use soft deletes is to keep history. Just because someone does not access doesn't mean we should report on the things they did months ago.
