61: Phani Raju on the GitHub Package Registry

This week we sit down with Phani Raju.

He's a Staff Engineer at GitHub and lead on the GitHub Package Registry.
He tells us what package registries are and why GitHub is uniquely suited to take them to the next step in security, trust, and user experience.

This is an awesome chat if you'd like to learn more about where your packages may be coming from in the future.
It's also a fantastic lens into the great engineering and design thinking that is alive and well at GitHub — and how the Dear GitHub letter sparked a new wave of innovation.
