lancemantis posted:I remember how many devs I spent time around outside of work tended to always be front end types and they’d always be talking about bower and poo poo and I didn’t get wtf those things were supposed to do other than being examples of someone with too much time pasting over broken garbage package managers for javascript. good idea in theory, badly executed and managed.

I'm pretty sure I've used faker for some one off test type things. I wouldn't appreciate this guy putting malicious code in a dependency because he didn't like his npm fame.

rotor posted:I think repeatedly reminding industry that they should pay for open source support by crashing their poo poo constantly is far more likely to result in actual corporate dollars being funneled to maintainers than quietly just declining to participate in the system. it just means the one or two problem idiots who do this poo poo will be banned from npm. oh look, that's what happened

if you’re really upset about react just find an abandoned dependency it uses and offer to take it over
