• [community] https://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/items/44611467“FYI, there seems to be some bugs with installs yet that cause bun to crash. Might be related to having an old package-lock or old node_modules or switching back and forth between WSL and Windows proper. Deleting all lock files and node modules usually fixes it.”

More importantly, they make using bun install in monorepos a lot more reliable.”
