In light of today's Node/Electron Conversation, it seems appropriate to remind everyone of the t-shirts I made last week.

@ajroach42 I'm curious about the node/electron conversation, but couldn't find it.
I am a bit pro Electron though, so :P.
@dmoonfire Basically, node's ecosystem is bad and encourages bad habits.
Electron has all of the problems of webapps + the massive memory usage of running multiple web browsers at the same time + all the security worries of running multiple outdated web browsers at the same time.
@ajroach42 I found npm to be one of the better ecosystems out there, at least in terms of use (though high on fragmentation) and being self-contained verses global (composer, easy_install).
As for it being a pig, yeah, but there aren't a lot of good cross-platform, non-network-connected options out there.
@ajroach42 Sorry, didn't mean to respond that way.
Thank you for telling me the details of the previous conversation.
@dmoonfire All good!
