Describe your suggestion

In the assignment it links to this page: https://www.upgrad.com/blog/introduction-to-package-json-scripts-in-node-js/

I was reading through this and was increasingly getting the feeling that it was generated with an LLM. Or if not, just poorly put together. It was hard read. This isn't just to complain about that though. I did see that the article was updated in January of this year, and I looked at when the lesson was last updated and it was before this.

I did find an earlier (but not original) version of this article on the wayback machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20241112004036/https://www.upgrad.com/blog/introduction-to-package-json-scripts-in-node-js/

This version is much more concise and better written. I was going to just make a pull request and swap the link, but it seemed more open-ended than just a broken link, so after posting to discord was pointed towards making an issue.

Oh great, AI strikes again. Yeah, the webarchive link you found is what I remember picking the article for and the current form is... not nice. Great catch and dig.

Well, if that just replacing the link seems like a good fix for it, I could make it after work today. Also a good one for a first time contributor if you want me to leave it open for someone like that to pick it up.

I'm not a maint anymore so can't assign anyone or make decisions for this, but I can confirm the context at least.

Yeah I think replacing it would be good, thanks for raising this issue and volunteering to contribute!

I do think that rather than leaning on the web archive I would prefer if we could find an alternative resource if possible. If you don't feel up for that though we could change it to the archive for now and create a follow up issue for finding a better resource.

Was busy this last weekend and haven't had a chance to look around yet. But I should get some time and search around the next couple days and bring back some potential alternatives.
