@whitequark Thinking of it that way, left-pad was very funny indeed. What is Big Boat Stuck but all F500 websites.

i think we learned the wrong lessons from left-pad. maybe it would create a better world if any npm user could pull a "stop cord" for the entire silicon valley corporate environment

material for mkdocs is very very good overall but this option feels like a fever dream
