WHICH NPM PACKAGE HAS THE LARGEST VERSION NUMBER?
Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter
This dev investigated which npm package has the largest number in its version by fetching package data from the npm registry. After fetching metadata for millions of packages, they initially found "latentflip-test" with a very large version number, which they considered invalid. After filtering and manual inspection, the author discovered that "all-the-package-names" has version 2.0.2401, making it the npm package following semantic versioning with the largest valid number.
