GoKawiilSatirical npm package 'jev-leftpad' pads strings via AI model call instead of padStart()
A new joke npm package called jev-leftpad reimplements string left-padding by calling an AI model (Jev, via TypeSafe's SDK) to choose how many spaces to add, rather than using JavaScript's built-in padStart() method. It requires an API key, Node.js 20+, and only supports padding up to 10 spaces since the AI is given choices labeled space_0 through space_10. The author explicitly warns against using it in production or for anything important.
