Here's the history, hope it helps.

I wrote the original version of the npm registry in a day or two on top of CouchDB. I built it quickly and didn't think much about scale.

Isaacs continued to improve and maintain that code. At one point he even wrote up an open standard for generic js package registries for CommonJS but they didn't seem to care (they were too busy arguing about promises).

At the time I wrote the initial code I was employed at CouchOne and we had a small CouchDB hosting platform operated by Jason Smith which is where we ran the registry free of charge. Later on, after CouchOne was aquired by Membase and became Couchbase, it decided to break off the hosting company and give/sell it to Jason Smith, which became IrisCouch.

Children are created, raised, cared for and we hope that they will live a long and proud life only to end long after their creator's has ended. They are their creator's legacy.

Your code is not your child, it is an animal raised for slaughter. Your code will die. It will die before your death. Your code's entire purpose is to die. Your code enables some new function and if successful that new function will grow, it will mature, it will eventually outlive the usefullness you've provided. When successful your code creates value that outlives it and the faster the better. When unsuccessful a mercy killing is most appropriate.

Believing that our code is our children makes us territorial, protective. Nobody is allowed to kill it, only improve it. The idea that our code can be perfect, that it can change to handle so many new concerns leads to the birth of frameworks and plugin systems. These systems brutalize creativity by forcing new value to conform to the standards of our aging children.
