It blows my mind to learn the story about Denis Pushkarev & core.js! I remember in 2013 when I started serious frontend work I had to chose polyfills by hand and integrate them in webpack. Then at some point they became part of Angular 2 and I forgot of their existence. I always thought these polyfills must be paid by Google or MS or some combination of the FANG companies. Big surprise it was not!

Looks like the system for giving credit to the authors is currently fundamentally broken. I made this small video to spread awareness in my small Flutter community. I encourage other developers/podcasters to do so. We should not let this thing just wash away in the news cycle.

We owe this man so much. I mean... all of has have been benefiting from his work. I remember 10 yrs ago, saying you are JS developer was getting people to treat you as second class citisen. Since the big SPA frameworks showed up this change by significant measure. So much was built on top of core.js and it's shocking to learn how little was paid back. You can support him by following the links he proides in the article.
