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

@12bitfloat it's because web devs do not think before they write including me. It's so easy to achieve something, that you think, I'll fix later. Snek is reasonably resistant for that for not using a lot of libs. Lot self made c style. No frontend framework as well what prevents 70% of maintenance.

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.

@jestdotty the people who want to rewrite all gnu tools like ls and stuff to rust are the real retards. Just like, incompetent, I don't know where to start.

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.
