Making "safe npm"

Making "safe npm"

Author: Changelog Media April 21, 2023 Duration: 1:02:06
Feross and his team at Socket recently shipped a wrapper library for the ubiquitous npm package manager's command-line interface that brings enhanced security when you need it most: _before executing any code_ Bradly Farias lead this effort, so Jerod & Chris invited him on the show to learn all about it.

From the team at Changelog Media, JS Party: JavaScript, CSS, Web Development is a lively, weekly conversation about the code and communities that shape the modern web. Hosted by a rotating panel of developers deeply embedded in the ecosystem-including Jerod Santo, Kevin Ball (KBall), Nick Nisi, Chris Hiller, Amal Hussein, and Amy Dutton-this podcast feels like pulling up a chair with insightful colleagues. The discussion ranges from the intricacies of JavaScript and CSS to the broader web platform, covering browsers like Chrome, Safari, and Firefox, alongside the ever-evolving landscape of front-end frameworks. You’ll hear practical insights, spirited debates, and forward-looking analysis that goes beyond surface-level news. The collective experience of the panel, which has also featured voices like Suz Hinton, Feross Aboukhadijeh, and Divya Sasidharan, ensures topics are examined from multiple, grounded perspectives. Tuning in means joining a nuanced exploration of the tools and trends you use every day, where the focus is on real-world application and the people behind the code. It’s a consistent source for developers who want to understand not just how things work, but where they’re headed next. This podcast thrives on the energy of its panel, making complex topics accessible and engaging for anyone building for the web.
