Comment on Npm Raises $2.6M Seed Round

Comments

Multiple points:

1. Why are people happy about this? They did a crowd funding round taking common people's money, gave them squat, then took Investor money and gave them a share. (Would make me mad if I was part of the crowd)

2. What is the business model? In what world does PIP or any other package manager have a revenue stream? Ads? Spyware? There are no good models for this.

3. Does anyone else think that having a company title of Supreme Emporer is a sign that this is not a founder focused on community?

I'd say we bounce and use something else, but I did that a long time ago, so I can only suggest everybody else make like an external node. (a leaf ;-) )

Exactly. Which is why I am actively gearing up to switch to Dart and (back to) Python as soon as is even painfully feasible. I am also sick to death of all the socio-political posturing and other narcisspewage surrounding the so-called node/npm "culture".
