pnpm 11 deep dive with lead maintainer Zoltan Kochan

pnpm lead maintainer Zoltan Kochan joins PodRocket to unpack pnpm 11's biggest shifts: a new minimum release age default that blocks npm registry packages under 24 hours old, a cleaner allow builds config replacing scattered post-install script settings, and the experimental global virtual store that slashes install times with Git worktrees. Zoltan also shares why a Rust rewrite of pnpm's engine is now underway, and how AI-assisted development made it possible far sooner than expected.
