    🧵 I wrote almost 19,000 lines of code for a Virtual File System in @nodejs core using Claude Code. It started over Christmas and has been refined over almost three months of review. A collaborator challenged whether AI-assisted contributions can meet the DCO requirements.

    Are you in trouble hiring software engineers? Hire them in Nigeria. Everyone that is figuring out how to do this will have a massive advantage in the talent war.

    A company uses one of my libraries, and they often open issues about bugs and other help. I promptly offered them a support contract, which would greatly help them and myself. They refuse. After a while they open a bug about a production issue. What would you do?

    fetch() has shipped in Node and now people are complaining that it does not work like node-fetch 🤦‍♂️. However, EVERYBODY said they wanted more standard-compliant APIs from Node.js.

    Douglas Crockford does not go light on all the additions to JavaScript and we program for the Web today.

    Don't trust any software architect that do not write code anymore.

    The most disregarded principle of Software Architecture is extremely simple: Code that change together should stay together.

    What I notice is that a lot of junior/mid-level devs have very little familiarity with the terminal, and Docker, and networking in general.

    I'm stunned by how simple my @nodejs http client 'Undici' has become. It's also twice as fast of the old 'http' module in core. It's stable, and you should use it right now. buff.ly/2DPII6P

    Redis is the “get out of jail” card of all Software Architect. The time I spent studying and learning how to use it shaped a good part of my career.

    We are cooking something new for @nodejs v18. It has been a long time in the making (!) and I’m really super excited about it. Hint: you have been all asking for this for years.
