Jev is a new type of model that just makes decisions based on given options. It's small and really really fast.

Leftpad is a npm package that chooses if it should or shouldn't pad the left side of a string. It was famous for bringing down everyone's npm installs a few years ago.

This combination is a double joke. Put something stupid in something stupid.

		`> Jev is a new type of model that just makes decisions based on given options.` something like “if x > y then x else y”?

Uses JEV to do something that's one line of code. Also, "leftpad" was a useless package from years ago that many important packages used instead of writing the code themselves. Its outage at some point broke a lot of packages.

why useless? it did one thing that js didn't natively do

		It did one thing that you could write in one line of code. But it wasted space as a packaged dependency instead.
