Architecture astronaut is a term I hadn't heard but can appreciate. However I fail to see that here. It's a fair overview of newish Node features... Haven't touched Node in a few years so kinda useful.


It's a good one with some history and growing public knowledge now. I'd encourage a deep dive, it goes all the way back to at least CPP and small talk.

While I can see some arguments for "we need good tools like Node so that we can more easily write actual applications that solve actual business problems", this seems to me to be the opposite.

All I should ever have to do to import a bunch of functions from a file is

"import * from './path'"

anything more than that is a solution in search of a problem


Isn't that exactly the syntax being recommended? Could you explain what exactly in the article is a solution in search of a problem?


Did you read the article? Your comments feel entirely disconnected from its contents - mostly low level piece or things that can replace libraries you probably used anyway


The term originates from a Joel Spolsky article (or at least it's where I know it from). It's a great read: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2001/04/21/dont-let-architect...

Feels unrelated to the article though.
