This. GitHub/Microsoft have let npm languish.
All the good that TypeScript did to the Node ecosystem, npm is undoing it
How can a serious company build on top of this ecosystem that is one npm update away from dependency compromise happening
(I am serious: I'd expect more greenfield startups to not go with Node b/c of it)

Early npm and Node.js design decisions resulted in the biggest software ecosystem in existence, for the most used programming language in the world. We shouldn't pretend this is a net bad thing. But yes, it came with tradeoffs. A more competent current steward could have mitigated these tradeoffs.

The protests are not for Trump to see, they are so you can all see each other and grow. It's not the protest itself that tyrants are afraid of, but the networks and community you can grow from them. Your strength is your unity and that's why the enemy thrives by demoralizing and dividing you. #3E

I am sometimes amazed when people see my dark theme and open vscode and say to me “oh wow your coding.”
I want to say, “no, I am editing endless config files to make coding work before I can even begin coding.”

Remember back when we had an actual President that wasn't an unelected billionaire Nazi hiding behind an elderly convicted felon?

I am always a little disappointed when I see a job posting list requirements for frameworks as must haves. Like “candidate must have 2 years of React experience.”
If you cannot teach a framework in less than two weeks, then that is a failing of you, your company, and the framework itself.

I am still miffed that tech hiring companies expect candidates to do a 4 hour take home “project” to prove their skills. Hard pass.
