Wow you're right, he's the author of the infamous "is-odd" and "is-even" packages. What an odd person.

Someone in the OP PR mentioned the amount of energy used to download these tiny packages and its actually something crazy to think about

And anyone who has been around for a while should remember when left-pad broke node.js. Including unnecessary dependencies, instead of writing trivial code is just bad practice.
