- pluma 9y agoMost of the blame falls to npm Inc for bending over backwards to a corporation for a bogus trademark claim they weren't even involved in. Sure, left-pad being deleted was what resulted in most people's problems but this was just the fallout from npm Inc forcibly reassigning an actively used package name from a major open source contributor to appease a company that didn't even threaten them directly.
