I agree with you. We all too often forget the scope: requirements, developing, testing, to say the least. My favorite example is NPM. While the author has a point, I tend to rely on the wisdom of the crowd. Sometimes there is a reason why a couple of million developers - in the case of NPM packages - seem to be lazy. In my experience, we ended up copy/pasting and modifying some code and syncing it with the "superfluous" package. Good intentions, badly executed. Leftpad was the right itch at the right time and people found better ways to deal with NPM. NPM got better after that, as well as native implementations. Better cope with NPM than fight it, my 2 cents.
