  1. Then just quit, man. If they don't pay any better than working at Starbucks then by all means go pour coffee for a living. You'll have a lot more fun. 100% serious.

  2. Dependency hell. This is not so much an issue with Nodejs itself, as with the culture of Node programmers.

    A quick example: My company is currently developing an internal API in Node. It's really a very simple application. Yet node_modules has 954 subfolders. That's a *lot* of dependencies for not very much functionality.

    From my perspective in devops, it's no harder to deploy a Node app than anything else. But I thank the gods daily that I don't ever have to hack on that nasty codebase.

    Python already has been overtaken by Go, at least in terms of developer mindshare. No one is starting new, cool protects in Python today.

    I will be curious to see if Kotlin starts to catch up with Go. In many ways it's a better language, particularly its null safety features. And it's blessedly free from the authoritarian "code of conduct" Google undemocratically imposed on the Go community.

    Hahahahahahahaha! Facebook is heavily censored - it is most definitely not a platform for free speech. FB is also well known for collaborating with the Stasi. So no freedom after speech, either.

    Thing is, people enjoy smoking. Even worse, the WRONG people enjoy it. That's why it has to be banned.

    No one enjoys breathing in a thick cloud of mephitic exhaust fumes. Therefore no need to ban those!

    Neo-puritanism FTW.

    Nah. Shipping and delivery trucks are essential. Passenger cars are a luxury.

    A luxury I myself don't use. So let's ban cars! 'Cuz anything that doesn't personally turn me on is EVIL!

    The Rustbelt is experiencing urban decay. If it were rural there wouldn't be so damned much rust.

    On the upside, the decaying ruins of heavy industry are quite picturesque. Abandoned skyscrapers have an impressively post-apocalyptic grandeur.

    Obviously there are somewhat more job opportunities in large coastal cities. I myself long ago left for the coast, then eventually for Asia. But the life of a rootless economic exile is not for everyone. And the vastly higher cost of living in the coastal cities makes that first move difficult even for young single people with no responsibilities. It's about impossible for families.
