The joys of communal coding
-
Assorted largish chunks of JavaScript development (NPM, Node.js, Gulp, babel, probably many more) were just broken because one person decided to stop working on one small module (that left pads text).[^]. Fortunately, it didn't take long for a fix, but it's funny how we sometimes find houses of cards very comfortable until the wind picks up. From the thread:

wait nope, there's literally no way to fix this for older versions. you've basically broken every single version of babel. you can't republish over already published packages. babel relies on line-numbers with a fixed version and line-numbers relies on left-pad with a fixed version.
:doh:

The reason he did so is because NPM took control of one of his packages because a law firm with the same name wanted them to. NPM is getting a LOT of flak for doing that, as is the law firm. Seriously, how many people will confuse a JS module with a law firm. Those lawyers need to be put out of business.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

I thought it was software company that started the issue? i.e. Kik messenger, used some heavy handed lawyers to stop the use of kik as a name in another software project. NPM folded under the legal challenge and removed the kik code so the user nuked all of his NPM stuff including left pad.

What do you call a busload of lawyers going over a cliff? A good start :) What's brown and black and looks good on a lawyer? A doberman. Oh oh, one more... How do you get a lawyer out of a tree? Cut the rope. ;P
