What's going on with the `next` package and npm servers today?

All day our CI randomly gets these errors. But for some reason only for `next`. Any other npm package works fine. Re-run it a few times and the error goes away 🤔

status.npmjs.org is all green, but that page has never been reliable 🤷

I was using Copilot today to write a bash script and I had an array of host names. It suggested this code - even added a nice copyright. Seems to come from this Node.js book: www.scribd.com/document/685...

This is a huge improvement to heap inspection inside Chrome DevTools 👍

Seth Brenith at Microsoft gave many anonymous object literals top-level names (using their properties) to stop them getting unhelpfully categorized under "Object".

Pics show before & after.
