    For me, this article falls below a quality threshold I didn’t even know I had. What do I do here? I can flag it but I don’t see a reason. I know we don’t do downvotes here, but I really think we need some way to apply back pressure to articles that aren’t very good.

      It reads like secondary school coursework.

        If it’s not good enough quality I feel “off-topic” is a justified flag.

        Of course the biggest flag is that it’s from Hackernoon…

        I haven’t read the article, but that sounds like a choice between plague and cholera :P

          I’m not sure it’s sensible to compare NPM repository size vs Maven central, because:

          • In NPM repo, there are libraries which are literally few lines long, like the well-known left-pad library. There are no such small libraries in Java,
          • Maven Central isn’t the only repository for Java packages. There are also Bintray’s JCenter, jitpack.io, also others.
