NPM has reverted to a previous version of the faker.js package and Github has suspended my access to all public and private projects. I have 100s of projects.

What's up
@Github
? Ten days since you removed my ability to publish to NPM and fix the Infinity Zalgo bug in colors.js
Never responded to my support emails.
I have 100s of packages I need to maintain.
Everyone makes programming mistakes from time to time.
Nobody is perfect.
There has been a data leak somewhere in FAANG and I can tell you with certainty billions of dollars are being made off our work and there are multi-millionaires literally laughing at us.

Using OpenAI the past few days has made me realize more than ever that we will need a Universal Basic Income soon.
AI has already permanently replaced a vast segment of jobs and occupations. Most of these people haven't been told yet.
Babel.js and React are the worst open-source projects we have right now.
Half the corporate websites we use existing in society (utilities/banking/telecom) are constantly breaking and require phone support / manual intervention. All the same crap tech stack.

I believe I will spend the rest of this life and my next life only doing social work to help others. I no longer have the desire to write code.
Going to form a think tank to figure out ways to protect air-gapped MySQL databases from being hacked by telepathic remote-viewers.

Since I've now gotten a few emails from confused sponsors about my work:

This is a perfect example of the lunacy you need to deal with when running a large open-source project.

Since you added a political banner and agenda and decided TO STEP OUT OF YOUR SOCIAL agenda, I suggested a new cause to push in world politics, which got me blocked, supposedly because it doesn't fit your
Once you reach a certain level of programming, you realize that you can build anything using only proper naming conventions and cache management. Everything else in computer science is just an abstraction over naming the thing and storing it somewhere.
As requested via Github, here are receiving accounts for BTC and ETH. Bless all of you.

Got some potentially good news here. Been in communication with

@indexzero
It looks like I should be joining GoDaddy and they will be acquiring the project!
I'll make sure to post a status update on this when I have it!!!

I've fixed the Zalgo bug locally and have colors v2.2.2 ready to publish. It's been ready for 3 days and I still can't publish to NPM.

Thank you! I accidentally sent out $100 earlier today to people I sponsor on Github through automated payments. Represented half of my bank roll. I did manage to cancel the auto-pay for that. oops!
It's official. At 2:22pm today 2/2/22 we launched:

Buddy Pond is kinda like if AOL Instant Messenger and Windows 98 got married and had a baby named Neo.
The AYYO Colors Key Mint has begun.
I wrote the immutable smart contract myself. Every piece is a winner, with complete control of a Guild.
144 ETH is available for those intelligent enough to solve sets.
Take your time to check this out. I promise you've never seen anything
Does anyone know the story lately with the Reddit IPO? These assholes are trying to get 15 billion dollars from the content WE all made.
If Reddit IPO gets any traction, please remind the world that Ghislaine Maxwell was a power moderator of Reddit for years.

The best way to use the LLM is to know the answer to the question you are asking ahead of time. The thing is a master of autocompleting. I use the LLM as a hammer, not an encyclopedia.
Please stop evangelizing stupid projects like TypeScript.
Technology is not a cult. It's supposed to help us, not be used as propaganda to advance your career.
Stop writing books and build something useful.
No, it's not parody. Ex Vercel employee. Checks out.
I would fire this dude immediately if he showed up with this pedantic nonsense in my code base.
Brother, plenty of developers live kick ass lives writing Java code. There is no shame in that, I think you would excel.
I just KEEP seeing uses for Prettify<T> out in the wild.
Here, you can use it to unwrap a class with lots of complex inheritance to actually see it in the tooltip.
Just found that our faker.js is the 386th most starred project on Github out of 28+ million public repositories. I'm counting this as a significant life accomplishment. ✌️
This is from the Discord of a San Francisco based gaming company that has raised over 6 million in VC funding and sold 1 million in NFTs last year. They are launching loot boxes on Monday.

The immigration crisis in NYC is genuine. I got stopped in Brooklyn today by two Venezuelan women with four young children. One of the women was in the late stages of pregnancy. They had a handwritten note explaining their situation and spoke no English. I've lived in New York
Big security issue with

today. Some very popular packages disappeared for no reason and were replaced with malware. I've been pubilcally warning developers about NPM having quality issues for over a year now.

Being poor is a mindset. Don't let artificial boundaries hold you back. If you are broke, do what you must to get by.
Try to remember how good a life you have to be able to work on what you love to do all day.
Our entire Enterprise relies on Clippy.js working. I am concerned there has not been any updates in the repo for over 7 years
Does anyone know of a high performant Clippy.js fork? I am being serious.
If you are willing to believe in multiverse theory, then there is a universe not very far from ours where everything is the same except every instance of the word "Jesus" in the Bible is replaced with "Batman"

I am currently seeking funds to keep a roof over our head. I was not very ahead financially, as of yet, with my position I held. I was getting there, but we’re living off pennies right now. Does anyone want to help?

For real? You keep the auto-ids in the event you need to rebuild referential integrity in case of emergency DB recovery or future refactors.
The Wayback Machine should be taken down. A centralized corporate run Internet archive is objectively worse than no archive at all. Users should be creating their own archives.
