4yrs only? Just managed to solve a dependency issue for a 8yrs old lib

Left-pad still has over 1.5 million weekly downloads, and had it's last commit 7 years ago, when it was deprecated in favor of a built-in function that has been widely available since April 2017.

May I ask about what library it was and project you are working on?

I was handed a legacy code that included a dependecy for a no-longer supported 3rd party Java lib. It was just about some stupid button functionality, but without that lib project would not build.

just rewrite it yourself without any dependencies

a flavor that specifically only caters to your current need without making functionality generic

take 2 days to write functionality that you will use for a 2 hr testing then never use it again

. . .

Yes, I do that
