    @thepacketrat pointed out over on the butterfly site that it's a little over 10 years since the left-pad incident. I looked up the wikipedia article he authored about it - March 22. And just about 10 years later after we all learned the dangers of over reliance on external dependencies, we get axios. Everything old is new and no one learns anything ever.

      my cynicism here is mostly hyperbolic, fret not, but we're not solving this problem overnight

          @thepacketrat @burritosec Your post was boosted by someone in my circles and although I'm not able to see what the generalizations are talking about--your reference to "the butterfly site" in conjunction with "reliance on external dependencies" screams the name of a pseudoscientist rather loudly: Andy Davis of Georgia. He's great at spreading manure when he labels it "science".

            @claralistensprechen3rd @thepacketrat "the butterfly site" refers to bluesky, a website that uses a butterfly-shaped logo. "reliance on external dependencies" refers to a recurring problem in software development. this post has nothing to do with physical butterflies nor a researcher who you seem to have a personal problem with. have a nice day.
