From the 2015 discussion about 8cc, the author states that "I chose a random character to append before 'cc'."

As an outsider, it seems the entire js ecosystem is based upon these tiny 'use' libraries?

Agree. To me this is like saying "use this because it is written in X". I'd rather use this based on the feature set that improves this client against competitors.

Wonder how many of these were already in use by state actors?

The first two comment snippets read like someone who woke up with a horse's head in their bed after refusing the proposal from the React Family.

You can reduce this to:

When I interview developers, I generally ask some basic questions about ____ - "Explain to me what _____ is?", or "How would you _____?"

Basic stuff, which - to my mind - literally every person who develops anything which is on _____ should know.

And a surprising number of people - even "senior" developers can't answer this stuff. It's really worrying.

No joke at all, sadly I see this day to day.

Don't disagree, but how much more insecure is Marriott to say, Motel 8?

You can say "Alexa, read me Moby Dick".

I don't think the point of most comments are to change someone's worldview entirely (unless of course they are disputing religion or something on that level). Perhaps they might help to mold it over time but if a single comment can change the way you view the world I think your view was too simplistic to start.

As someone who has read Moby Dick front to back I can agree with this argument. I had a colleague once, really bright engineer but not as steadfast as I was at the time. I suggested he read this amazing novel and he instead opted for the book on tape. During a long drive he almost died from boredom. Literally! He almost fell asleep at the wheel. While he disagreed with me that manually reading the book was the optimal approach he was not trying to make things more complex. He was merely trying to take the easy way out. This grave mistake almost cost him his life. Consider this tale next time you are thinking about not putting in some work!
