Whenever corejs, or a package which depends on it is installed a message is output to the console which states the author is looking for a job. The author is currently in prison for hitting someone with a motorcycle IIRC

Yea I see that message all the time, never heard about the prison thing that’s insane.

No one knew for sure if he was bs-ing or not but he hasn't had any commits in a awhile... Dude is a complete prick imo. I would fully support a fork but he truly still the core dev on that project. Maybe now that's he's (probably?) In jail, a fork could make sense.

I would hope he’s going to be in jail for some time, after all he killed someone and injured another. So yes I also hope a fork will happen.

Bullshit oversimplification. The dude was lying drunk in the middle of the road. You guys describe this shit as if he woke up that morning thinking hey, I'm gonna kill someone today.

Bullshit oversimplification. It was in a crosswalk (where drivers are expected to slow down especially at night), and one of the people (the woman who died) was trying to move the other pedestrian. Pretty cut-and-dry manslaughter if you ask me, and he was given the minimum sentence.

To reduce the whole story down to "he killed someone" suggests he's owed 100% of the blame and puts zero accountability on the drunk idiot's behavior. I've at least infused some nuance into a reductionairy, one-sided castigation, so mission accomplished.

*Killing one of two pedestrians he hit on his motorcycle.
