Hello. :-)

>Please log a bug.

I'll check if the bug opened last year (as Node 16 tightened ESM resolution... start to remember?) is still open.

But nevermind that.

What I really want to ask you, is about this introduction:

>I love you. You do amazing work. You are gods among mortals. You have brought JavaScript from the darkness, and given it the warm light of strong typing. Look upon us, the cowering meek masses, and understand that we live in the muck and mire of a world where we are doomed to endlessly crawl on our bellies through the alleys of Github seeking the one true npm. We will forever wander in the dark, until we have a type reflection model.

Had you read this text before I just brought it to your attention?

What were your immediate feelings regarding its tone?

Did you enjoy being addressed like that?

Or were you embarrassed?

Or did you just brush it off as a harmless, playful display of "nerdiness"?

Or something else entirely?

What would it take to convince you that, if someone needs to debase themselves to "endlessly crawling on their bellies" to get your attention as a platform vendor -- or veer towards the other extreme (as in the case of my rants) -- your "solution" just might have become part of a bigger problem?
