In the past we compressed an NPM package from 72mb to 7mb. "Unfortunately, noone tweet about it"

Doctor, why didn't you excise the tumor fully?

Unfortunatelly, noone tweet about it and mentioned. This is why I do not want to spend my forces in this area, no success in promotion.

In some circles getting on r/pcj is even better than being tweeted about.

If your comments are having side-effects, you should be ashamed of yourself.

If you check his homepage you see that he has at least 5 different seemingly random Twitter accounts

The Japanese have a saying which I think is beautiful:

A man has three twitters - the first, he retweets celebrities. The second, his friends. The third, twitter thots.

who the fuck uses twitter for IRL friends lmao. i never got that people would use it for neither a) following the news, b) being popular/brand/executive of a company/band/etc, or c) for industry related shit (like if you were a big language rep like Scott Hanselman or something)

It's okay because Twitter accounts are cheaper than developer time

Because we all know the measure for success as a developer is getting tweets being excited about every change log /s

Is this just de-dupe? Does NPM not use permanent web IPFS hashes?
