What if you could execute a @nodejs.org package without ever unzipping it? What if npm had no central server, just a peer-to-peer mesh with cryptographic integrity baked in?

Luca and I will dig deep into the current wave of npm and GitHub outages until we reach their logical conclusion.

Maybe it's time to imagine a completely different world.

We explored executing packages without unzipping, a P2P mesh instead of a central registry, and client-side cryptographic integrity... what the next decade of package distribution could actually look like.
