This is why you version lock, and update manually. Also it’s a perfectly good example of 3rd party libraries ability to do what ever they want to their code base without your knowledge, for good or evil.

@C0D4 this absolutely isn't why you version lock and upgrade manually... It wouldn't help at all here

@willol how do you figure that?
If your on a previous version (for this example) you won’t be affected by this bullshit, same goes for other repos.

It takes 1 second to produce a broken code base. With these libraries being used so much in the sense of NodeJs you can ultimately take down thousands of applications.

@C0D4 last update for font awesome for example removed support for IE11. Took me a bit to find the culprit.

The thing is the end users shouldn't have to worry about such things. End users here meant the developers using the library.

- Imagine you cannot rely on the rice packages selling on the market, your vege vendors, your meat sellers nor any restaurants or fast food shops.

- Imagine that you have to grow your own rice/wheat field, vegetables, grow fishes and chickens and cows and stuff.

- Imagine that if you decided to rely on someone else for something, they might have pee on the fields, shit on the veges and cum on the meats.

I wanna live in a world where I can trust others :3

@cursee I have nothing against the reuse of packages. I thinks it’s great. But I think precaution should be used instead of trusting blindly, after all not all devs are trustworthy.

@C0D4 I think there are a lot of people out there who have no idea what "configuration management" even is.
