          I wonder if it’s really true that this practice is particularly prevalent in JavaScript development or just an false impression caused by it being one of the most, if not the most, used programming language

        The Node package manager is used in some web applications and has a very trusting distribution model, but it’s not particularly relevant to what I wrote (red herring fallacy), and GP’s phrasing alone is enough to identify them as a heckler. Please don’t feed the trolls.
