Core-js: Please remove the post install script

[pronebird]

Hi,

It's absolutely terrific that you're looking for a job, but please do not do this via postinstall script. There are job boards, meetups where you can connect with others, LinkedIn, and so forth.

>> node -e "try{require('./postinstall')}catch(e){}"

Cheers,
Andrej

@pronebird Hey! Looking at other issues in the repository, the maintainer has said that he won't remove the postinstall message, to spite people who want to remove it and maybe for financial reasons as well -- he's mentioned he'll be going to prison in a couple days.

where did you see this? If that's true I hope someone forks this project and takes it from him

@pronebird agree with your original comment. I don't mind the postinstall message, considering all the work he's put into this library for free, but I worry that continuously saying he wants a good job undermines him. I'd expect he be in high demand considering he's authoring a standard library for Javascript, no small undertaking, and I hope this doesn't hurt him.

well considering he was committing on a almost daily basis then went silent 12 days ago i would imagine this project just died. here's to hoping babel or someone else takes this over. he sounded like a real winner

Since he is from Russia - I dont think he was joking at all.

@Kein this is not a joke.
@zloirock will be unavailable for some time.
Here he clearly expressed his opinion on this issue.
Closed.

@ljmerza just because a project hasn't received commits in two weeks doesn't mean it's dead. People have commitments other than open source work that doesn't make them any money. Also, there is such a thing as a project being 'complete'. Some projects go years between major updates, and that's fine. In fact, often I much prefer libraries that are stable and move slowly. If you really feel some changes to this library are needed, then I'm sure the maintainers would appreciate your pull requests.

Yes, prison commitments apparently.
