I was in Dumfries/Ayrshire a few weeks ago. Came up from Manchester; saw so many wind farms on the way and during our visit, most of them after crossing the border.
I've been meaning to sell my Pebble's but never got around to it. Don't know if anyone would even be interested in them as the screens on neither of them work. The first was the Kickstarter edition which was then replaced but the replacement eventually had the same issue. I loved the battery life on those things compared to my Apple Watch but I do prefer all the additional functionality that the Apple watch offers.
After reading the article, this comment and the comment thread further down on pnpm[1], it feels to me like the NPM team are doing everyone a disservice by ignoring the inefficiencies in the packaging system. It may not be deliberate or malicious but they could easily have provided better solutions than the one proposed in the article which, in my opinion is a band-aid solution at best. The real fix would be to implement what you mention here: local registry and caching, and/or symlinking a la pnpm.
If you read the post, you'll see that OP was inspired by a similar design (which is linked as an embedded YT video) but designed his own to fit his other needs, i.e. making the back part a tray.
