      I got a new microphone to record a course chapter update and prepare for the new up-and-coming ones.
      
      The audio from the new mic sounds so much better to my ears than the previous one that I feel like I want to re-record all the course videos now. 🤦‍♀️

      I have a Node.js project that needs to be able to:
      1. Take a package name string
      2. Install that to a tmp directory
      3. Dynamic import() that package
      
      I.e. what npx / npm exec does, but in JS/TS code, not shell.
      
      Has anybody written this already? I'd prefer to reuse than to maintain this myself.
