###In broad strokes, summarize the event
- Azer is an Indian Giver that decided to break the internet.
- Kik is a thing that lots of people use, and they want their name back
- Azer was like, yo, but this project is my heart and soul, and if I can't have it then nobody can!
- The patent engineer was like, Azer, dude, calm down. Relax.
- Azer was like "I AM F#CK|NG RELAXED, YOU FU$KING RELAX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
- The patent engineer snitched to NPM like 5 times
- Moral of the story, snitches don't get stiches, they get their name back
- #betchesGonTryMe #azerOUT! #" I'llBiteYourFaceInTheNameOfOpenSourceLiberty"
####Gem 1 - pry
- environment that helps you run code
- updated 27 days ago
- 143 open issues
- PLEASE READ THIS : This quote really speaks to me. I'm not sure who Jermain Steward is, but he seems like an exciting lover.
- Don't Understand : This multi-dimensional poem helps me reflect, but brings about some really complicated feelings that I don't quite understand. Particularly the line "whose thighs are bound in casual red cloth". Can you help me?
- Based on these poems, I definitely trust the authors of this gem. They seem like they have never gotten a neck tattoo in a south american prison by a one-legged metal-worker.
###How do NPM and RubyGems relate?
- Both nice packages of code that can be easily inserted into personal projects.
###What is left-pad and why is it used?
- It removes left padding from strings
- Azer Koçulu, anarchist, unpublished more than 250 of his modules from NPM
- left-pad : pads out the lefthand-side of strings with zeroes or spaces. And thousands of projects including Node and Babel relied on it.
- HASHTAGPowerToThePeople
- Azer doesn't play nicely with others.
- I respect his desire to respect the open source community and his sailor's tongue.
- I bet he will make more money off of this notoriety than he would selling out
- It seems ridiculous that developers should have to register and trademark all of their names to be protected. Talk about an inefficient system that exploits the people actually doing the work.
- Provide npm users with the package they expect.
- Unrestricted un-publishing kills kittens
- Abruptly removing a package disrupted many thousands of developers and threatened everyone’s trust in the foundation of open source software: that developers can rely and build upon one another’s work.
- creating greater protection
- Write your own code!
- gems are dependencies, dependencies are bad.
####Gem 2 - omniauth-strava
- Understand : After handrolling a bunch of Faraday calls, this is pretty approachable stuff.
- This gem is a lot smaller than I expected it to be.
- last commit July 17, 2015
- Zero open issues
- Don't Understand : I'm not really sure what these methods do when they call super. I understand super, but I don't really understand the purpose of these methods.
####Gem 3 - Faraday
I'm crying over here at this overview
