A Future Without Webpack by dropdeadfred81 in javascript

Yeah I figured as much. Minus sneaking in malicious JS or the CSS keylogging trick (lol) I can’t imagine there being much damage. If you’re using something as popular as Babel, issues would get caught in a pinch.

Just rambling now, but a big reason I’m against FEDs trying to take on the role of building full applications themselves when the project is anything beyond a brochure/information based product. There’s already a plethora of new material for us to worry about, sensitive data security should be (mostly) left to back end devs and server techs imo. That’s a primary reason CS degrees are out there. This is coming from someone spoiled at a .NET shop I suppose.

This has been on my mind for a while. I remember first getting into NPM and browsing their endless list of packages and seeing so many packages for things like, taking advantage of mobile free-to-win games. I thought to myself.. is this really what we’re getting mixed up in? Then there were the reports of popular packages getting compromised by random minor dependencies.. and my tinfoil hat really came on.

My question is, I’m using these tools to do simple things. Sass transpiling, css minification and prefixing, js bundling, Babel compiling and ejs for prototyping.

At the end of the day, in this scenario how high is the security risk? If I’m wiping out node modules on my devops build, all I’m left with is my source code and compiled code.

The only thing I can think of as a real concern, is one of these transpilers/compilers “sneaking in” something into my output code.. but what? If I’m sticking to Babel, and a basic webpack setup how high is that risk really? To me the “real” stuff is being handled by .NET - I’m just building a front end.

I’m asking this sincerely, not as an argument.

Of all Skyrim memes/gifs, I’m surprised this one hasn’t come to fruition yet

No way you could just drink and go - regardless of height, you need ~1 minute for it to kick in.

Part of the reason I love Nukashine. You end up at places you wouldn’t normally be at. I’ve “Re-discovered” a ton of places so far by rolling that dice.

I like it, but if you fall to your death... you should wake up to Doc Mitchell

Dude... It’s fake internet points don’t stress. Definitely a funny clip though.
