The replies here (and on twitter) really are making me realize a lot of the hurt that will possibly stem from marak's actions really were ripe to happen given the sheer number of javascript developers who don't understand at all what they're doing. IT people for some reason tend not to be great at introspection which tells me this won't be fixed because this is more than just one asshole dude, this is a systemic issue with js and web development as a whole. This sort of thing would be really hard to accomplish in Linux for example because of the mentality they adopted early on when Linus had his first burn out moment, but the fact that even after leftpad nothing has changed really shows how systemically broken web dev is.
