Cute! Wouldn't it have been very surprising otherwise? For instance a strategy to flip the percept of a necker cube is to imagine it as physical object in a scence.

It's called being dependable and have a robust ecosystem that engineers and users can trust in.
It's just normal and sane. Adults getting shit done.

The only ecosystem that has the correct understanding about this is #Clojure.
Clojure libs don't break. They just make a new function or new lib when they want to change behaviour.
"Deprecated" warnings ok, but why in the world do you delete anything?
This stuff is used in prod by people.

Normal people in the world think "Why the upgrade?".
They just want their software to keep working, and they are right - it is off.
The software industry has a dysfunctional relationship to upgrades and it is sucking *everybodies* lives.
Don't brake things, just don't do it.

And then the next layer of gargabe: "Upgrade guides".
You update your software, you delete behaviour. You think it is fine if you put up an "Upgrade guide"?
Why is this normal? It's not normal.
The whole industry is blind on the topic of upgrades and this even leaks to users.

I don't care about 'safe package managers' or semver.
Don't figure out the right way to break things. Just don't do it. It's bad. Breakage is bad.
It's normal, don't do it to people.

Seriously go update the npm deps of your > medium sized project. Jesus fucking Christ it's like the whole industry did not grow up.
