Thank you for having a readable font size and thank you for actually explaining ideas in ways that the layperson can learn from. We need more of this, not elitist jargon that is all too common.

Satire aside, couldn't they just revert the commits? That is the whole point of the system. ONLY if the system didn't work would Tom be angry, but IF the system didn't work then the rest of the story is contradictory.

The team at NPM deserves a lot of respect for how they have handled this, and the speed at which they've responded to the community's demand. Bashing them for doing this is an unreasonable double standard.

First, they provide a free amazing tool and service for the community.

Second, they didn't have the wherewithal to fight a legal battle over a naming issue for one of their users. So they complied, and the community got upset.

Third, they apologized and took actions to conform to the community's requests. No groveling, no excuses.

Fourth, and now people are bashing them for the opposite extreme? This is ridiculous.

The NPM team deserves a lot of respect and praise, not loud mouthing from a bunch of users who don't even donate to support the service.

For clarity to others before clicking: this is NOT about Pilot Wave theory. It is about seafaring pilots, so don't expect theoretical physics being discussed in the comments.
