Unable to deal with Chrome Extension Team, Kozmos is shutting down
Maybe they're still angry with him about leftpad.</joke><p>Yes, it really is the same guy: <a href="https://kodfabrik.com/journal/i-ve-just-liberated-my-modules" rel="nofollow">https://kodfabrik.com/journal/i-ve-just-liberated-my-modules</a>. And, joking aside it would be wise to bear in mind that we're reading only one side of the story here. As with leftpad, there's another side to this.<p>With leftpad he told Kik, "fuck you" (<a href="https://medium.com/@mproberts/a-discussion-about-the-breaking-of-the-internet-3d4d2a83aa4d#.ld8o5zqz7" rel="nofollow">https://medium.com/@mproberts/a-discussion-about-the-breakin...</a>), and then wrought global havoc on npm users. Now he's claiming the Chrome Extension Team "continuously troll developers", and is pulling down something he's created... again.<p>I only have two data points, so the behaviour here is a coincidence rather than a pattern, but I will guarantee you whatever you think of Google there is more to this than meets the eye.<p>I'm not without sympathy for the author, but neither am I about to uncritically take his side.
