What's your intent by assuming what these hypothetical employers would think? They stated in the article that the intent was to raise awareness, not to troll. People are just assuming they're lying about their intent, but I don't see much point in trying to uncover a grand conspiracy here, fix the problem with npm.
- dahdum 3y agoI was hoping they had a reason other than “for the attention and lulz” that would be explained in the repo. I guess not.
- starttoaster 3y agoThere isn't really any conceivable reason other than for lulz is there, though? That's the whole point. Nobody NEEDS this, so the Node ecosystem needs to fix this in such a way where creating an everything package isn't even possible. The only attention this person deserves is whatever amount of attention is required to get people that work on NPM to work on a fix. I'm sorry for all the people that feel the need to act attacked by this, but frankly if nobody shines a light and causes some pain by being a lawful-evil prankster, the people working on Node will never bother to fix it. As is evidenced by the fact that it is possible.
