Is javascript monkey patching a thing? It's possible but I feel like it's discouraged from becoming a common practice. Also, is the name "monkey patching" racist?
Yes, JavaScript monkey patching is a thing. Most common use, though, is fairly benign: adding implementations of modern methods (like Array's forEach) when the environment doesn't provide them (yet).
@edavies @meredith_matthews oh! Polyfills. Of course. Duh. I should have thought of that. (I never, ever use polyfills)
