Real examples here? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Friend who is not a software person sent me this tweet, which amused me as it did them. They asked if "runk" was real, which I assume not.

But what are some good examples of real ones like this? xz became famous for the hack of course, so i then read a bit about how important this compression algorithm is/was.

I just finished reading his story and wtf! Man, I sent him $25. It's not a lot, but hopefully it covers my tiny bit of usage of that polyfill, back when I used it.

I had no idea that package was used so extensively. Good lord! I actually just recently removed it from most of my projects because the features I needed it for now have broad browser support.
