Terrified of NPM security? please don’t blindly follow the panic

This article addresses the recent fear around npm security sparked by a viral blog post. It deconstructs the alleged attack, showing it relies on social engineering via GitHub pull requests to add malicious packages, not a vulnerability in the npm registry. The author argues the panic is misplaced and that the responsibility lies with developers reviewing dependencies, not npm as a distribution platform.
