  • Yeah don’t worry about it too much. Ensure you have the correct name when installing your library but that’s about all you can do personally.

    Any other solution will have some security flaws. NPM has a few more than it should but essentially the entire web is built around it. Sorry man, you don’t have any other choices.

    How to use it properly? Any npm tutorial will show you quickly. Always check you’ve got the right thing, always check the library is large enough that if something goes wrong it’ll be noticed, and know there’s no way to be completely safe without never using libraries.

    If you’re learning the web though there’s no way to avoid npm.




  • This is an old standard, long ago when CSS wasn’t a big thing, and even when it was when it was much less featureful, tables where the only way to properly position things. This is no-longer the case and is now bad practice and has been for more than a decade. This is due to defailt styling added to list elements along with a few other issues with speed and consistancy

    Don’t know them, but this seems an older Dev who learned something one way and is entirely unable to adapt with changing technology. This is a danger, and has been the reason for quite a few major, very expensive, issues at companies I’ve been contracted at. Sure, using tables and lists is not a big issue, but what else will he do and defend aggressively? I’ve seen the same with a person arguing SQL injections are fixed because he took out all comment characters before concatenating a string for an SQL query.
