Four billion phones ask one text file what time it is. One lecturer keeps it in his spare time. We counted the rest.

    Inclusion of core-js or whatever it is called into the list feels dumb. Sqlite iirc doesn’t accept new contributors, other projects on the list might as well. Not all of them require high maintenance beyond small fixes their authors are obviously capable of implementing.

      Yep, a story of some Russian killing someone with his car is written as if he’s a maintainer of some incredibly popular and needed thing, and killing someone’s just a little inconvenience.

      I don’t care if you’re even Linus fucking Torvalds (with all the respect) and you drive to kill someone, not realising that driving at 3 am may be dangerous. I highly doubt he was driving slowly otherwise he won’t kill someone on the spot.

      What’s the value of your work then, if the result of it is that dramatic? Don’t overwork then, to have to drive at 3 am being that exhausted.

      And what is core-js? Is it even remotely important?
