You continue to miss the point. Its not a question of _why_ I trust my compiler or my computer. If you trust npm packages and ship them then that's not malpractice.

Its about admitting you _don't_ trust npm packages, but you go ahead and use them anyways. That is malpractice, because you admit you know better but take action anyways.

"I know this procedure may do more harm than good, but I will perform it anyways because I'm too lazy to find an alternative"

That is textbook malpractice.

Trust? I don’t even trust my eyes.. :)

Though yes, if laziness is what makes it malpractice, then I’m the Jack Kevorkian of IT. I plead guilty.

Glad were in agreement :)
