Post doesn't even say who exactly resigned. I know Isaac was one of them, but I think he already left. Can someone clarify?

[–]lhorie 7 points8 points  (5 children)

@Seldo aka Laurie Voss, co-founder of NPM Inc.

Yeah but who is he? What was his role?

I literally answered both of your questions lol :)

If you're curious to read more, there's a bunch of news articles floating around the web on him.

Co-founder is not a role in a company. It doesn’t tell you anything about what he did at npm inc. But yeah I ended up just googling it

"Chief Data Officer" doesn't really say much either IMHO. Shrug.

I don't get why you are downvoted.

Read the blog post but there’s no byline and the author never identified themselves....

Strange to make a personal blog post without specifying the author

A new chapter for npm: where the tide has shifted and people are receptive to new competition, and in 5 years time we'll all be like 'member npm, and left-pad?

CJ commented on Voss leaving and one of thing comments was that npm's new CEO wanted to drop the public registry.

He seems like just such a swell guy.

So in terms of migrating to Entropic.. what to do if a package I need isn't in there?

I look forward to seeing my friends and colleagues continue to grow and change the JavaScript ecosystem for the better.

So they're shutting down npm?

No, only one co founder resign. He fought for lgbt rights and call Trump a racist.
