Why anyone would look at the litany of mistakes that is npm and Node, then look at Deno and all of the same developers learning nothing except how to implement its "hurr durr URL loading code is cool" approach to security and think "this a good idea" is beyond me.

I appreciate Deno because I can ask job interview candidates what their thoughts are about it, and when candidates for senior positions don't point out any of the billion obvious reasons it's a stupid project for stupid people, it saves me a ton of time. Otherwise, it's a waste of time and effort, and all you have to do to convince yourself of that is look at the contribution history of the most prominent contributors on github.

I have never, not once, in my life as a developer wanted a project to die so badly.

Hiring people based on their ability to predict your own idiosyncratic hatreds of specific technologies is just a horrible idea. It also ensures your ideas never get challenged and you never improve.

Well, at least its mutually beneficial because they sound like a pain to work with.

This is called cultural fit. Predicting idiosyncratic hatred is not enough, one must also share it.

With an attitude like yours, I think it's the candidates who saved a ton of time...

I hope you're either self employed, or that you run your own company. If not, this comment is a red flag for potential recruiters; you might want to consider editing it.

Based of this I don't think anyone genuinely senior (or not) would want to work for you with your insane biases.

So win-win, Your happy, they are happy.

Can you elaborate? What stands out to you in their contributions?

[jhatemyjob]

At least when you pipe to bash it feels gross and wrong. I can't believe they made it a fucking feature

I'm reading your post in Derek Zoolander's voice when he sees the model that Mugato had made.
