There’s an argument to be made that micro packages follow the ideas of the Unix philosophy, but to compare is-odd and a derivative that simply negates it’s results to piping two well optimized coreutils together is definitely a stretch. I’d also say that implying JS developers inherently have a wider range of experience and knowledge compared to developers of coreutils is flat out absurd. |

I was way too ambiguous, so I see how you understood it that way. I meant in the downward direction. There are more packages from more people in JS, so you end up with lots of first projects, small experiments, etc. So you have 100% of coreutils being decent to amazing, while it's probably closer to 1% with NPM. Both ways have their advantages, but it's easier to footgun with the highly inclusive NPM approach.
