Yikes, it's one thing to stop development of somethign but another to intentonally do damage to thousands of people, big companies and small one person webdev shop. This guy probably can't be sued because of opensource, but he should be shunned in the future by open source advocates and just the public in general. Why would anyone hire him unless it's to run an antifa/right-wing website?
- Gigachad 5y agoThis reflects more on the state of modern web development where so much value and important sits on top packages run by individuals who have 0 obligations and infinite power. Either we need to consider all non corporate packages as a threat, or take away power from the package developers so they can't just yank a package retroactively from peoples software. Perhaps keeping a local mirror will become standard rather than relying on an always available online version.
