[social] My last job one of the internal products I ran and owned was a service that scanned and assessed every FOSS package requested that came in to the company. There were 40k to 60k internal devs and engineers in a very risk adverse industry. It was amazing transversing all the nested packages, particularly in npm, with how many with serious vulnerabilities were relied upon downstream.

[morganm] Hello, Ive been working with/on a web component for an Image Loupe. Basically a magnifying glass that works on desktop. I wondered if anyone had any thoughts on my initial implementation.

[mattl] but exclusively focused on binary packages, whereas package managers often deal with libraries and source code packages as well as binaries. Some examples of system package managers include apt, Homebrew, dnf, winget and pacman, while gem, pip, composer are package managers for Ruby, Python and PHP.

[mattl] package manager is a piece of software used to install, update and remove other pieces of software, usually including handling any dependencies that need to be installed. Package managers are more common on Unix-like operating systems, but as of 2025, most operating systems have a package manager available for developers and many programming languages have a package manager of their own. App stores are roughly equivalent to package managers,
