• Everything is Permitted: Extending Built-ins

  by Andrew Dupont

  Adding methods to built-in objects: it’s one of JavaScript’s most powerful features. It’s also a great way to offend the sensibilities of your colleagues. We all hear that it’s irresponsible, that it’s sloppy, that it’s flat-out bad practice and should be avoided.

  I’m tired of this one-sided battle. In this talk, I’m going to push back against whatever blog post you read that told you that extending built-ins was unconditionally and universally bad. I’m gonna go all Howard Beale on your asses.
