If you read that GP post as a personal attack, you might be identifying with your tools. We all do it sometimes, but it's something we should keep an eye out for because it's IMO the most toxic part of programmer culture, and a big part of what's holding us back.

Almost all of my programming time these days is JS, and I've been doing JS as long as anybody. I know what I'm on about, and I can tell you the JS+NPM ecosystem as a whole is a hot mess. GP is not some crazy person with no idea what they're on about. Well, they might be, but you can't tell from that post :)
