That's just a slippery slope argument. I am not arguing for people to depend on leftPad, I'm arguing that depending on a library like this which is probably tens of thousands of lines of tested code that does roughly what you want already is a damn good idea. Again, I don't want to handroll a solution and have to test it out across Windows, Mac, Linux and then check again to make sure it works with both Docker and Podman, and then again to check AArch64 Windows, AArch64 Mac and AArch64 Linux, and so on. I'd prefer to use a library. And hell, even if any of those things don't work, I can report it to the maintainers and possibly contribute a fix, and then everyone else gets to benefit too.
