> A new feature was added to the colors.js project for generating cool ASCII Art American Flags. Unfortunately, this feature was not bug-free and some test code slipped into the release causing issues downstream. Nobody is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes from time to time.
https://github.com/Marak/colors.js/commits/master https://github.com/Marak/colors.js/commits/master shows 4 commits and 2 releases. Does not seem like a simple mistake
> As per our internal open-source development process, I opened an Issue in colors to track the bug as soon as it was confirmed. It happened to be a weekend [...] I tagged some other open-source developers I've worked with in the past to see if they had time to assist and closed the browser tab.

2:24am someone identifies the fix, but marak comments: "Still trying to figure out what happened. I think we may have tried to upgrade to JavaScript 6 but the CI system only supports JavaScript 5 and lower."
11:33am marak comments: "We've been up all night trying to work out a solution for this Zalgo bug and are still coming up short."
This post is cringeworthy to read... does Marak thinks not one remembers what happened?
