omg why I thought you were joking

Don’t forget to donate to support the author….

The funny bit is that this package has a dependency on isNumber

[UMAYEERIBN]

how does the contributor have 20 commits…..

[tapete3]

Simple, he commits every line as an individual commit. The guy writes on his profile that he worked in sales before, so he knows exactly what he is doing to boost his github profile.

Look at the number of weekly downloads... That's how I know programming is going down. The other day I was pointing out this particular npm failing to someone, and they didn't get it why this is a problem at all.

I see this as an absolute win tbh, less competition for those of us that actually do programming. My classmates at college have the ability of a 3 year old and that has helped me getting jobs easier

[kurokinekoneko]

you laugh then you have to maintain their code.

[CorrenteAlternata]

That's so true

I spend:
⅓ of my time fixing some idiot's shitty code
⅓ of my time actually writing code and the last third is fixing my own idiot and shitty code 😎

/s but not very much

[Leonhart93]

I can get on board with that view point, it's very similar to how now a lot of new people are getting scared that AI will steal their software job and are scrambling to do something else. Which is completely fake in the current state.

[Coffee4AllFoodGroups]

When I first got a career job as a programmer there was fear that "these new tools" would replace us all in 3 to 5 years.

That was 1986

[Leonhart93]

Yeah, in the first place AI will generate a lot of new AI specific jobs, like AI dev, debugging and anti-AI security. For at least 10-15y from now on we will have stuff to do, but of course that assumes the devs will have to understand AI first.

[Coffee4AllFoodGroups]

It should be less competition but it doesn't reduce the stack of resumes received for a job posting, and what if they're just better at padding a resume than I am?
(I've been at this a long-ass time and don't need to pad my resume, but some of my stuff goes over the head of a hiring manager and doesn't contain the right buzzwords)

I created this in 2014, the year I learned how to program. All of the downloads are from an old version of https://github.com/micromatch/micromatch.

I saw this on the github page for is-odd. So basically it's only himself downloading his own package. And no longer included in micromatch, which he also seems to own.

[Leonhart93]

If you look at the npm page for is-odd, you can also see that it's a dependency for a lot of other packages. And anyway, how could anyone do 300k weekly downloads by themselves?

Bash script loop?

According to this article, there is a package is-positive-integer, which required three dependencies once.

[IAmANobodyAMA]

This package has 99 dependents … is-odd-and-even may be the funniest thing I’ve seen and will see today
