It's a condensed statement. There was a time when I would start a new programming project thinking about class hierarchies, maybe drawing some UML diagrams. I don't do that anymore, and I don't believe it's very common for greenfield projects anymore. But educate me if that's wrong. We've kept some of the good ideas from OOP like namespaces and interfaces and we use them in slightly different contexts now, where OOP may even still be technically possible, but it's not the primary way of doing things anymore. I believe, or at least hope, that we will see a similar kind of evolution for package managers. Where it's still possible to use other people's code, but having packages like left-pad or is-even is no longer how it's commonly being used, even if it may still technically be possible.
