package managers

It's worth mentioning the role of a good package manager, especially for rapid development and monorepos. Wondering which one to use? The simple answer: Bun

Why?

For the hobbyist developer, Bun offers several compelling advantages:

  • Speed: Bun reduces wait time for installing dependencies, running scripts, and starting your application/agent.

  • Simplicity: Bun acts as a runtime, package manager, bundler, and test runner rolled into one. This eliminates the need to learn, configure, and manage multiple separate tools. Keep it clean.

  • Ease of Use: No more needing separate compilation steps (tsc) before running your code (node index.js). Bun runs TypeScript directly.

Essentially, Bun lets hobbyists focus more on building cool things and less on wrangling complex development toolchains.
