Summary

A deeper follow-up to our earlier JavaScript discussions, this episode digs into why the ecosystem keeps tripping over the same problems. We unpack supply-chain risk, package culture, governance gaps, and the uncomfortable truth that some issues aren’t technical at all: they’re cultural. JavaScript isn’t going away, but that doesn’t mean it should remain the default foundation for everything we build.
