*her/their tone, if you care
As the person mostly on the hook for https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16435305 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16435305 (as I recall), I can imagine she/they would be a little on edge.
Still not a good look. . .

- pluma 8y agoI see no reason why "they've screwed up before so it's okay if they're being dismissive and intransparent" would ever be a valid argument. The point of excusing past mistakes is that they are learning opportunities. If anything, the filesystem permissions bug only makes this worse because it was a destructive bug in a widely promoted release (even if it was technically not supposed to be stable -- npm employees actively recommended using it on twitter) and npm's reaction was fairly dismissive (because it's not a stable release for production use, dummy).
