50% new NPM packages are spam
> When I did a coding boot camp, one of our assignments was to push a package to RubyGems. It didn't matter if the package did anything; just make up a name and publish it. I'm pretty sure this kind of thing was a common practice with other boot camps, and applied to NPM as well. I always despised how this effectively trashes the repository and represents a complete waste of digital space, no matter how insignificant, as well as take up names that could go towards code that is actually useful. I wouldn't be surprised if a significant number of spam NPM packages were these boot camp assignments.
To me seeing these types of behaviors from an applicant would be a pretty big red flag. I'm just thinking of the disaster that was Hacktoberfest 2020 after a YouTuber popular among bootcampers and students in India taught his audience how to make a (spammy) PR in order to win a 5$ T-shirt. [0]
A pattern I've seen with bootcamps is that students will build a "portfolio" on GitHub and everyone from the same cohort will build the exact same project because most of the bootcamp is a "fill in the blanks" exercise from the same template. As in, there's a 95% match among the same cohort. This type of "GitHub gaming" was pushed to the extreme by someone who created one package for every ANSI escape code. All of his packages end up including one another and the author PR'd them into popular projects so using those give him downloads and boost his rank [1].
We pretty much stopped recruiting from bootcamps because the signal to noise ratio was just too low.

Node.js packages don't deserve your trust
This is absolutely not true, and I'm tired of seeing this.
is-odd, alongside a bunch of other microdependencies are almost all the work of one person, who made as many micropackages as possible and then PRd them into other more popular libraries. There are not 6 million people directly downloading `is-odd` a day. At all.
When this person could make one library to do something (like an ANSI-Colouring package), they would fractalise it into as many dependencies as possible, because that boosts their download count on NPM. I should note that this is just one person who has managed to nestle their way into some larger projects. I apologise for the spam, but this point really needs hammering home:

A notable JavaScript developer shamelessly copied one of my most downloaded nod
https://github.com/jonschlinkert/error-symbol
My personal favourite is making every single ansi colour into a separate package, and then making `ansi-colors` which depends on all of them, and all of these packages are just a single function call with a provided number. It's honestly insane.
