Via JavaScript developer screws over own popular npm packages • The Register:

• Infinite loop causing Denial of Service in colors · GHSA-5rqg-jm4f-cqx7 · GitHub Advisory Database

Maybe one day I'll have a(nother) security advisory with my name on it. Nothing so disruptive, though

I'm also late, by nine years and one day, to the linked news about Aaron Swartz.
