Stop the Open Source propaganda

[superbonaci]

I would recommend you to stop the Open Source propaganda, you are shooting yourself in the foot. Use and develop Free Software, so you won't have regrets. Open Source is a marketing strategy and you shouldn't be using it.

And this applies to all your code not only colors.js

These little dummy packages are easily replaceable. People using this stuff in companies can just rewrite them in a week. Nobody is impressed with these petty games.

... then why the fuck are you even here @eglove if you could make colours in a week, so just make it yourself? Don't use this?

... then why the \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 are you even here @eglove if you could make colours in a week, so just make it yourself? Don't use this?

They can't, but a corporation like Microsoft or Google could.

Chalk, which is properly funded, is frankly better anyway. And faker... which is a functionality built into most test frameworks was replaced how long after marak's temper tantrum? Immediately?

I'm saying this little stunt was meaningless. And already forgotten.

Have either of you looked at the source for colors? Or put any thought into what it does? It's not exactly difficult. And it's not much code. Yes, I can build it in a week, so can any other dev.

I've used packages to parse XML, or even to grab YouTube ID's from a URL. The complexity for stuff like that is no different than colors. You could do it yourself in a pretty short amount of time.

Writing your own websocket isn't hard, but we all use socket.io. What's the point of immer except to reduce a little boilerplate?

Frankly, it's pretty normal to build things like this on the day-to-day when you can't find something open source. And it's never the end of the world. You just do it and move on to the next task. Should we publish our own solutions to the public more often? Sure. Should we throw temper tantrums when we don't become millionaires from it? stfu

Marak Squires is a dumb kid with an attitude too wrapped up in memes and the poisonous side of the internet to see the forest for the trees. He, or the people wrapped up in this short-lived little collective tantrum have no idea what open source is, or what it's about.
