Umm you can find burning trash in your backyard useful to yourself - but it's still polluting the neighborhood (eg. people using this crap in APIs or pulling down useless dependencies to get this). It's especially bad if you start promoting your practices and get your neighbors start doing this as well.

This is a great example of how argument by analogy completely breaks down and just helps the author express their feelings.

But for a second it makes them feel smart.

Maybe expressing feelings about the topic, as a guess behind the motivation for the mocking repo, was my intention ? (like I said in the second part of the post)

Left-pad shitshow showed how relevant NPM dependency chain is as a measure of quality and what it does for the ecosystem. This is left-pad with added complexity to sneak in malicious code.
