When Everything Goes Wrong: NPM Dependency-Hell Campaign
Happy New Year! What a way to open 2024! NPM user account gdi2290, aka PatrickJS, published a troll campaign to the NPM registry by uploading a package named everything, which relies on every other public NPM package, resulting in millions of transitive…

There are my personal minds about web3 future:
1) Protocol first - do the protocol, not the applications. SMTP decentralized because the protocol allows it, Tor and Fediverse too.
2) OFAC/KYC/ETC - the user must be assured that the protocol will continue to work. Globalization creates requirements to ensure operability even if one of the actors on the planet is against it.
3) AI/Momentum code - in the future, when programmers are less likely to write code, it will be done by robots. In this world, protocol will be more important than code.
4) Blockchain/dApp/Web3 - this is about the ability to create a chain of actions with finances attached to them. If you take the D out of the DApp, blockchain is not needed here.
5) M2M (Machine-to-machine): nobody knows, but blockchain is for machine-to-machine communication. It turns out that the main consumer of blockchain now is people, but it is machines that can benefit the most. Trust-less/Centralized-less architectures will allow continuing working even if part of the data processing segment goes out.
6) blockchain ∈ web3
