I don't want to pile on the maintainers though! There are valid reasons for why it's in the state it's in (legacy code is hard, especially when you have so many people depending on the behaviors you want to change). Doesn't negate the frustration though.

The frequency with which I have to tell my team "Don't accidentally upgrade npm beyond vX, but make sure you're later than vY" in order to avoid breaking bugs is incredibly frustrating.

Alas, I wasn't able to see my phone well enough to live-tweet my stroke. Though apparently I was making bad dad jokes at the nurses/doctors the whole time I was in the ER, and I would do anything to have a permanant record of that.

Anybody who thinks science fiction doesn't address contemporary issues either hasn't been reading good science fiction or doesn't understand the history around the stories they've read. You can't convince me, for example, that War of the Worlds isn't about issues of the time.
