Other than making the web tedious to use, my biggest CAPTCHA complaint is that it puts the main providers in a position to monitor everyone's web use. The blog post doesn't address that, but it does say this:
Perhaps they mean it's self-hosted? That would be very welcome. It might require open source code to catch on, since many site owners are uncomfortable running mystery code on our servers. That would be very welcome, too.
Here's hoping it's good.
And yet Node.js exists and flourishes.
What do you mean by that, isn't node open source as well?
The joke is a lot of devs import random node modules hahaha
I wonder if it's really true that this practice is particularly prevalent in JavaScript development or just a false impression caused by it being one of the most, if not the most, used programming language
