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.
