... to @Keith-Barrow, one of the geekiest, funniest bits of coding clickbait I've seen. I followed the link[^], you won't believe what happened next. A webpage opened, and I read it. That's what happened next, so you probably would believe it.

Thanks for the link, Keith, and Pete. Makes me wonder if the JavaScript open-source "community" has any mechanism other than name-and-shame to "police" itself. Of course, that's making the wild assumption that the word "community" is relevant to the terms "open-source" and/or "JavaScript." But, I'm not knocking JavaScript, the monster that ate the web because economic and political agendas of the "major net powers" couldn't agree on anything better. The use of it has been improved much thanks to John Resig (jQuery) and others, and, now, TypeScript and other "wrappers" for development essentially let you ignore its not-good-for-OOD limitations to some extent.

What the hell is a Conclusino?

The ending of another hipster I hope.

My favorite bit out of that post is this part:
Quote:
[Imagine] if the car you drove to work had 291 parts. You’d be worried, wouldn’t you? Yet, for some reason, we’re totally fine installing 291 individual modules just to power an enterprise-grade web server capable of handling thousands of incoming requests per second.
I lol'ed, literally. Also... I hate to be "that guy", but... A couple of the people responding here don't seem to understand that the entire blog post is taking the piss? i.e. None of that stuff is real? Guys? Is this thing on?

A Conclusino is a latte made with a variation of the coffee made from beans that have passed through the digestive system of civet cats and been excreted; in this variation, the beans are further treated by being carried in the undergarments of female human virgins for a month.

Well, Pete, I tend to take anything you post as a kind of "gospel" :) and there is a Yummy open-sauce-code thing associated with JavaScript: [^]. I guess I've just appeared in a chapter of Gullible's Travels ?

The left-pad fiasco shook the JavaScript community to its core when a rouge developer removed a popular module from npm...
Just how red was this developer?

You misunderstand. A rouge developer is one who leaves everyone else red-faced when they realise how they've been caught out.

There is a serious side to the whimsy - it's very easy for "APIs" to grow beyond a reasonable size due to shoehorning in other prerequisites that also grow beyond a reasonable size so you ultimately end up with a bloated, convoluted mess if you aren't careful. This makes it hard for you to assess the impact an API is having on your code, and the performance effects it has. How do you know that a critical component is performing well if it relies on something six layers away that is badly written?
