Hello friends, What is your favorite programming language? Why?

A maintainer fell victim to a phishing email that looked completely legitimate official npm branding and all. 18 of the most popular JavaScript packages we use every single day (debug, chalk, ansi-styles) got hijacked with malicious code targeting crypto wallets. These packages? Over 2 billion weekly downloads combined. The maintainer received what looked like a genuine 2FA reset email during what he described as "a particularly stressful week." We've all been there exhausted, overwhelmed, not thinking as clearly as we should. One moment of human vulnerability, and suddenly cryptocurrency transactions across the web were being silently redirected to attackers. Here's what really gets me, during the 2 hours those malicious versions were live, they reached 10% of all cloud environments. That's how lightning-fast these supply chain attacks spread through our interconnected world. The technical execution was sophisticated - browser-based malware that intercepts crypto transactions and rewrites payment destinations without any obvious signs to users. But what strikes me most isn't the tech complexity. It's how this exploited the most human elements: trust, exhaustion, and the reality that we're all just people trying to do our jobs under pressure. The maintainer responded perfectly once he realized what happened. But it makes you pause and think how many times have we almost clicked that "reset" link during our own rough weeks? Anyone else feeling the weight of how much we depend on individual maintainers holding up our entire software infrastructure?
