How are we to take that seriously?
Ever heard of not invented here syndrome?
npm has problems, I won't deny it... but its not unique to javascript developers (which your comments about come off as extremely offensive), and its difficult to take seriously given the lack of any meaningful alternative offered.
Its just a rant... and people love to hate on javascript... so... click bait.
(also submitted what 3 times previously? And here I was hoping it would just wash away without triggering a js rant this time too..)

But it's not about npm as a technology, but about the mentality around how it's used. It enables laziness.
- Can_Not 9y agoBut people worship that laziness when it's not about JavaScript. E.g. the Unix philosophy.
