I've heard people mention curl and imagemagick. Any others that you know about?

From memory the NPM blokes had to have a think about how they handle important packages because of that. Didn't they revert the changes to left pad to ensure everything else didn't break?

Fascinating to see the house of cards some of these solutions / libraries are built off

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 6 points 1 year ago

Yes. They added it back. The policy now is that you can't remove packages that are depended on (or something to that extent, I don't know the specifics).

Yeah I'm pretty sure Github themselves restored the package if I recall correctly
