Small npm package. Its maintainer lost an npm trademark dispute when npm hijacked one of his other libraries and transferred it to the company suing him; in an act of revenge he yanked all his open-source packages from the registry, including the widely-adopted left-pad, breaking CI pipelines across the world. Cited at wroclove.rb 2023 as an example of dependency fragility.
