Initially attributed the unresponsiveness of `npm install` to npm (the CLI tool) in general. Tried using bun to install dependencies, saw the same result -- but with actual logs instead of a vague spinner -- and decided to check Hacker News.
Getting 504 errors on anything from registry.npmjs.org that isn't cached on my machine.
I just want to say that bun is a gift. It's just like npm, but backwards. So you imagine how perfect it is. I'm kidding, but really - bun is awesome. If you're using npm you can make the switch as it's mostly compatible.
