Node... I just feel like it's a bad language and a bad ecosystem. And we took that bad base and pushed it hard enough to work in production for some reason and now it's mildly working and it's just sad we spent all this effort there.
Just imagine what we could have now if all that work and resource were put into... Rust?
Probably a very unpopular opinion, but I don't like the fact that there are so many languages and frameworks. It's extremely suboptimal. Diversity is great but we surely could profit from having less redundancy.
Is there anything good coming from having Ruby/Python/Perl/JS? They are overlapping on most point and solving the same problems in the same ways. We could reasonably just keep one or two.
First GitHub PR accepted!

"I consider that we are still monkeys; we just came down from the trees rather recently, and it’s astonishing how well we can do. The fact that we can even write down partial differential equations, let alone solve them, to me is a miracle. The fact that we ourselves at the moment have very limited understanding of things doesn’t surprise me at all. I propose that our universe is the most interesting of all possible universes, and our fate as human beings is to make it so." -- Freeman Dyson.

“And Lot's wife, of course, was told not to look back where all those people and their homes had been. But she did look back, and I love her for that, because it was so human. So she was turned into a pillar of salt. So it goes.”
At least I am OK at blogging, I guess.
Job hunting is hard. I hate capitalism.
Individual contributions for your product or client are fine, individual contributions that empower your team and multiply their productivity are better.
If your company values looking at individuals in isolation over how they raise the team up, there's a strategic problem.
