>>> a lot of experienced individuals (myself included) believed that npm is fragile by design I agree with you! >>> you're accusing others of failing to fully understand the situation and of being condescending and rude I'm saying that people who say "massive helpers.js file yo" is not a solution. Improve the standard lib, npm and use lodash. I'm also saying we all rely on other package managers so don't think just because you saw npm as flawed you get a free ride to say this couldn't happen with other systems. All of them have various ways of poking holes in any security you think they have. At some point you have to put trust in your package manager. I'm riling against the people saying to copy and paste code everywhere. >>> The fact that your post is top of HN is just more evidence that Hacker News is no longer a useful website. It's kind of funny, YC gets better every year, but HN gets worse. I wonder at what point Sam and pg will realize that this cesspool is actually hurting their brand. Disagree sure, but I think to say that my post is from a cesspool is a bit over the top!
