06/22/24: npm install everything with Evan Boehs

Evan Boehs is a HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT who broke the freaking internet.  What more do I need to say?  Hire this kid.  Maybe I will.  It's a race.  


Evan made an npm package called everything which installs everything.  Then he got stuck in a dependency loop when someone tried to delete something.  It turns out this is a nearly impossible problem to solve and he totally broke npm.  Then a bunch of adults got made at him, when really, they should have been mad at themselves for building a bad system.
