Well it wasn't that you weren't being specific, more that you were casually maligning the JS community unfairly, when the article isn't even about web/JS :)
(I also don't agree with 'don't need to'. The main takeaway from the leftpad debarcle was the fixes to the npm module deletion policy, and hopefully people learning they shouldn't rely on an 'npm install' for production deployments! Whether people should use small modules is still up for debate, there are trade-offs [1] [2]).
