Cascade of attention deficit[0]? JS is a vast ecosystem with little barriers to entry, and > Fixing bugs isn't fun; going through the bug list isn't fun; but rewriting everything from scratch is fun (because "this time it will be done right", ha ha) and so that's what happens, over and over again. I don't think there's anything malicious going on, except a lot of people doing JS. [0] https://www.jwz.org/doc/cadt.html https://www.jwz.org/doc/cadt.html

> I don't think there's anything malicious going on The dev who copied the code forked someone’s repo, went out of his way to remove attribution and git history, sent PRs to replace the original package in other libraries with his own version, and when called out on it got defensive instead of apologizing. I think malicious is a fair way to describe his behavior.

  > sent PRs to replace the original package in other libraries Would you mind sharing a link to such PR?

  This is Nano Colors author. Even before this Twitter thread we had talk with Colorette author and I added mention to the docs, his name to LICENSE and promised him to not replace Colorette by Nano Colors. The Colorette mention was there 5 days ago.

    >promised him to not replace Colorette by Nano Colors. And was that before or after you opened several PRs to replace Colorette with Nano Colors?

  I wasn't talking about the specific case, but about the general attitude of the JS ecosystem to replace a library very frequently.
