* New core-js drama: Denis Pushkarev (Zloirock, console spammer, Russian pedestrian homicider)
* Denis Pushkarev, known as Zloirock on GitHub, maintains the core-js library on millions of websites and has spammed the console of the millions of developers who indirectly import core-js. (source: [issues/635](https://github.com/zloirock/core-js/issues/635))
* Pushkarev is a Russian who served about ten months in prison in 2020 for colliding with two pedestrians on his motorcycle, killing one of them. (source: [theregister 2020](https://www.theregister.com/2020/03/26/corejs_maintainer_jailed_code_release))
* Pushkarev said he's ready to give up open-source development because few people pay for the software.
* Pushkarev posted a 70000-character, 10000-word screed and opened an issue on GitHub titled "So, what's next?" in February 2023.
* Read Pushkarev's
