pnpm is a fast, disk-efficient JavaScript package manager that uses a content-addressable store and hard links. Strict node_modules structure prevents phantom dependencies.
Reviewer scorecard
“Issue-to-PR workflow is the right abstraction. The planning step prevents the 'just generate code' antipattern.”
“3x faster installs, strict dependency resolution, and disk space savings. The best JavaScript package manager.”
“Still limited in what it can handle. Works for straightforward issues but struggles with anything architecturally complex.”
“Strictly better than npm in every measurable way. The strict node_modules prevents dependency bugs.”
“This is where all development is heading — describe what you want, AI plans and implements. GitHub has distribution advantage.”
“pnpm's content-addressable store is the right architecture. Bun's speed will push it further.”
