Nodejs dependencies

2016-08-08 22:17:14.776224+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

I Peeked Into My Node_Modules Directory And You Won’t Believe What Happened Next.

This is amazing. In the first section, talking about the dependencies for the "Express" module, the author discovers a dependency whose sole purpose is to "Like" a Tweet about Hot Pockets.

What sort of monster brokered an advertising deal like this? I pass sensitive customer data through Express, and they go ahead and sell my twitter favorites to Hot Pockets? Needless to say, I likely won’t be using express again.

And then it gets more bizarre.
