Does anyone know if Douglas Crockford has been cancelled for anything? Because I still swear The Good Parts has been the most useful programming book I've ever read, and I need to know if it's a problematic fave or not.

@braindouche I don’t have receipts at the moment, but his track record is not without fail. Problematic fav it is (which is fine by me :)

I know he's developed and advocated for some pre-typescript libraries and technologies that have been thoroughly memoryholed and actively hated some latter-day JavaScript language additions, but I don't think those count as sins per se. But that's all I have.
