On the npm doomsday thing, the scarier version is someone vendoring it and the padding silently drifting between runs.

I’d be curious to see how reliable it is in practice, it sounds like a cheap and (hopefully) easy benchmark

Quick, we need a jev-isBoolean(value) so we can code YAML with confidence.

Is this package vibe coded with Jev or just old school with an LLM?

5 to 10 years from now, after this has worked itself deep into the npm dependency chain, we'll be lamenting how Jev-Leftpad is causing outages in critical services.

Is there a local model that can run this?

Jev is a new type of model that just makes decisions based on given options. It's small and really really fast.

Leftpad is a npm package that chooses if it should or shouldn't pad the left side of a string. It was famous for bringing down everyone's npm installs a few years ago.

This combination is a double joke. Put something stupid in something stupid.

something like “if x > y then x else y”?

Uses JEV to do something that's one line of code. Also, "leftpad" was a useless package from years ago that many important packages used instead of writing the code themselves. Its outage at some point broke a lot of packages.

why useless? it did one thing that js didn't natively do

It did one thing that you could write in one line of code. But it wasted space as a packaged dependency instead.

It also ended up inadvertently highlighting a massive problem with the JavaScript ecosystem.

And yet we learned nothing from it and all the same problems keep popping up, only this time in the form of supply chain attacks.

Jev-in-the-Loop. Makes sense.
