Some Thoughts on Microdependencies, NPM, and Node
What can we learn from left-pad gate?
Unless you've been hiding under a rock, you've heard about the controversy over left-pad in which a Node developer, angry over a trademark dispute, pulled all of his packages from NPM. It turns out that one of these packages, left-pad, was actually a dependency for a bunch of other packages and so builds everywhere came grinding to a halt. Now everyone has an opinion on the topic, many of which are very thought-provoking. I figure what the heck, since everyone else is writing about it I might as well too.
