The bus factor is real.

In November 2019, Denis Pushkarev, maintainer of the popular core-js library, lost an appeal to overturn an 18-month prison sentence imposed for driving his motorcycle into two pedestrians, killing one of them.

As a result, he’s expected to be unavailable to update core-js , a situation that has project contributors and other developers concerned about the fate of his code library.

Acelasi individ care tipareste in toate logurile (corejs are 26 de milioane de instalari pe saptamana) ca isi cauta un job. Ce poveste de viata.
