I don't want to swear on HN, so I'll just say .. wow. So there are elements of the community who want to keep the deficiencies there so they can get micro-fame for filling them? People want to feel important by maintaining left-pad?
(also I think they meant moot rather than mute, but hey; also, this is software, we don't really respect idea precedence and any work may be rendered moot by the work of others at almost any time as technology shifts.)
There are better things to be wow'd over than a random encounter with an online idiot. It's the most used language in the world, there are plenty of idiots to be found.
