    On the npm doomsday thing, the scarier version is someone vendoring it and the padding silently drifting between runs.

      Uses JEV to do something that's one line of code. Also, "leftpad" was a useless package from years ago that many important packages used instead of writing the code themselves. Its outage at some point broke a lot of packages.

    5 to 10 years from now, after this has worked itself deep into the npm dependency chain, we'll be lamenting how Jev-Leftpad is causing outages in critical services.

    Now that's a rare GitHub Username!

    Though, again, a yet another project for a yet another "AI" to make someone else more dependent on it...
