Node excitement 😉
Congrats to @hybrist.dev on landing support for Package Imports that start with #/ 🎉
Previously this prefix was special-cased and would error. It's convenient to use it as an internal absolute path to the package root.
import foo from "#/src/file.ts"

import foo from "#/src/file.ts"
Node.js added support for path rewrites for #/ wildcard.
This means you don't need typescript voodoo to use project relative imports.

module: allow subpath imports that start with `#/` by hybrist · Pull Request #60864 · nodejs/node
It's a common ecosystem pattern to map a source root directory to @/ but it requires special tooling support. This turns #/* into a more realistic alternative for that pattern.
