npm weekly #186: The *new* npm Enterprise, a collaborative chat with open-wc, and Kat on Real Talk JavaScript!
Why we created npm Enterprise
Wait a minute, npm Enterprise is a new product? Well earlier this week, Laurie Voss, Chief Data Officer took to the npm blog to explain. While we had an enterprise product in the past, this new platform combines enterprise-grade security and the npm collaboration software that devs already use and love.
