Who spilled the 55 gallon drum of sulfuric acid out front, and "forgot" to clean it up?

I'm an old-school JavaScript developer, that's why I use Angular!

yeah, I bet there was a bunch of crap written 30y ago too, the difference was no npm or github

I watched whole videos about repaving with used bricks and why we don't do that for all low-speed roads globally is just beyond me.

If you're talking about applications that can be made to act how their namesake predecessors did 30 years ago, sure. The Unix mindset is all about that.

But don't be fooled into thinking that anything on a modern Unix-like system hasn't been modified, patched or rewritten from scratch at some point in the last 30 years. More than once. Even /bin/false has a changelog.

Slightly pedantic, but according to core-utils GitHub, false.c has not been changed in 21 years. But true.c, which is what false.c is based on, has been changed as recent as 4 months ago.

~I couldn’t resist looking it up, and found the results mildly interesting.~

What are you guys doing to your JS packages for them to last so long?

We should dig up our roads to use as fuel while we're at it
