> This stuff isn't relevant at all to the talk - he never talks about npm or anything to do with package managers but instead how node does imports etc.

He does have it in his slides.

Slide titled: "Regret: package.json", last 2 points:

> Ultimately I included NPM in the Node distribution, which much made it the defacto standard.

> It's unfortunate that there is a centralized (privately controlled even) repository for modules.

Yeah, I remembered the package.json bit, but that part still had nothing related to the issues/ mistakes mentioned.

Understood, sorry I wasn't trying to dispute any of your points about said issues/mistakes.

Just trying to clarify that he does actually talk about NPM and his regret about it.

Yeah, I actually only remembered the bit about 'package.json' and not the other quotes as well lol
