test-please-ignore

"You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength."

— Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

What is this?

This is a repository. It exists. Just like you exist. But does it really matter? Marcus Aurelius once said "When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love." But did he ever think about the precious privilege of npm install? I think not.

Installation

npm install test-please-ignore

Or don't. The choice is yours. Free will is an illusion anyway.

Usage

const thing = require('test-please-ignore');
// TODO: figure out what this does

Philosophy

Marcus Aurelius taught us that "The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts." But what about the quality of your code? What about the quality of your commit messages? WHAT ABOUT THE QUALITY OF YOUR MERGE CONFLICTS?

Core Principles

1. Impermanence - All code is temporary. Your PR will be rejected. Accept this.
2. Stoicism - npm ERR! is not a failure, it's a teacher.
3. Memento Mori - Remember you are mortal, so are your dependencies.

Features

• Does something (probably)
• Exists in npm registry (maybe)
• Has a version number (definitely)
• Semantic versioning (thanks to robots)
• GitHub Actions (the automation gods)

Why?

"Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one."

Why waste time arguing about what good code should be? JUST SHIP IT.

Contributing

Sure. Whatever. Open a PR. The universe is indifferent to your contributions but I might merge them.
