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.

"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.

He's great at spreading manure when he labels it "science".]]>https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://friendica.myportal.social/objects/e65e1095-1869-e853-42bc-41a014836052https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://friendica.myportal.social/objects/e65e1095-1869-e853-42bc-41a014836052Wed, 22 Apr 2026 04:49:06 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to @thepacketrat pointed out over on the butterfly site that it's a little over 10 years since the left-pad incident. on Mon, 06 Apr 2026 17:51:49 GMT]]>@burritosec @thepacketrat jesus fuck, left pad was ten years ago?!
