I hate deprecations! Adopted a web project that was actively maintained until 2023, how can it already be so "legacy" that none of its npm scripts work anymore?

Welcome to the world of web dev where a project is already at major version 8 four years after it was started

if a node.js project lives 6 months without dying I think it's a miracle

this is why I moved to rust

I do love JavaScript but the community is retarded

@jestdotty a-fuckin-men.

I always like to think that the opensource community if full of very smart toddlers, that create a lot of good software. But there is no parental supervision whatsoever.

If they can marginally improve something, but it will mean a breaking change, then they will do it.

These people have no intention making software that other people can use. They are just trying to make the perfect software, and are willing to break stuff in the process.

In contrast, at our company we have an archaic piece of software that compiles old .NET 2.0 code into javascript. We are not developing anything new with that framework, but it required 0 fixes in the last 10 years.

> because web devs do not think before they write including me

and including AI coding assistants, so overall code quality is going to get worse in the future.

@devux-bookmark i've literally been watching this happen at work for the past year. it's driving me insane and i can't talk about it without pushing the lead architect's bad buttons.
