@imrishit98 not using typescript in 2026 should be punishable by death

@ppmpreetham Congrats ! So glad seeing such a capable engineer finally getting placed.

@miamiamiamimim This is so true. I have so many people in my degree aswell who have 0% interest or passion for actually learning and making things. All they care is just scrambling together and output that passes, there's no thought behind the design of the system whatsoever.

That would be the one time the US adopts SI and it's still somehow isolated from the rest of the world lol
(Btw Dave I'm a huge fan, your Node.js course started my entire backend journey. Still applying those principles to this day !)

Does anyone else still prefer taking notes by hand over using something like Notion ?

I'm learning Terraform and I'm really having a fun time with it, I'm noting important points and good practices from the documentation

Running kafkajs 2.2.4 in Node. It works fine, but the repo has been quiet for a while.

For a new Node service today, would you stay on kafkajs, or move to confluent-kafka-javascript or something else?

Most k6 tutorials use N virtual users looping. That's a closed model: when the server slows down, users send less, so the test hides the problem.

ramping-arrival-rate fixes the arrival rate and lets latency blow up, which is how real traffic behaves.

Which do you default to?
