It's satire playing on the fact that the entire Node.js ecosystem is built around 1-liner packages that in any other language this would just be code snippets you'd find on stack overflow.

Look at: is-windows (seems archived now for some reason) or https://github.com/jonschlinkert/isobject - 2.6million dependencies

These packages started out as a good idea to make a standard library for javascript, but after event-stream, left-pad, and other controversies, it's becoming apparent how much of an anti-pattern small 1-liner packages have become.
