    If someone is a web dev this could probably explain this better than me but here it goes. This does NOT mean Feross has ANYTHING to do with the site. Feross published an open-source module (https://github.com/feross/buffer) for node.js that this site happens to use. There is likely 0 relation between the website and Feross considering that thousands of other websites use this module.
