there's a pretty good chance you have used core-js already. please read through it, and consider donating & sharing his post. he really does not deserve any hate for the great work he does. he's the textbook definition of the thankless maintainer from nebraska.

hhhhh
as much as i would jokingly say that this guy is my nemesis for helping javascript be more than a toy that keeps you from right clicking on an animated gif of a tiny pixel cat dancing or bouncing a browser window around, holy fucking shit this is a goddamn nightmare scenario that this dude is in whoooooooooooooo buddy. big sucking the teeth in and other anxiety reactions from their situation.
dude's putting in endless thankless work and basically everyone depends on him. even if he's omitting something huge and he really is as much of an asshole as all these people say he is, it doesn't make everyone else taking his work for granted any less gross.
yeah, 100% agreed there.
the fact that discussions of making a fork had people going 'yeah we can't because we don't have the resources to maintain such a thing' in response while the guy was in prison should say something,
and like... while money is just bullshit in general, that doesn't change material reality in this moment. the fact that they're raising a family on less than one would get from the infamously cruel american disability payouts while essentially holding the modern form of The World's Wide Web up on their shoulders and they get rewarded by getting screamed at when their knees start to wobble.
I’m so mad reading this and fuck all those chuckle fucks giving this dude a hard time, I hope I can donate to him before too long or he gets massive funding and doesn’t fucking need donations, this is insane
Stuff like this makes me want to see maintainers maliciously yoink code off the internet and leave everyone scrambling to fill the gaps. They have the right to do so at this point.
That might also fix the current tech staffing issues, maybe they do need more employees after all...
