[email protected] nah, that's not what i mean. for the lack of proper stdlib we have lodash. that's honestly the okay-ish part of npm. while there are people like sindresorhus who i believe are poisoning the community, such utility libraries are mostly okay.
what i mean is that there are too many people who learn js on some shitty online courses and write absolutely useless unmaintainable untested spaghetti code. and then publish it to npm because why the fuck wouldn't they, the entry barrier is also non-existent basically. even if it makes zero sense to publish this to npm (like what the fuck is [this](https://www.npmjs.com/package/desktop)).
and then there are the god complex individuals who push fucking obfuscated blobs to npm. and what bugs me the most is there are actual human beings out there who use them (i won't point fingers, but this thing in particular has 500+ weekly downloads smh).
yet once you need something more niche you're mostly out of luck, because most of the time all existing libraries are either incomplete, broken in some way, outdated, unmaintained or just unusable. and ive seen that pattern too many times sadly :c
