that feeling when your boss loves node for all the reasons node is terrible. I never want to hear "you just have to..." again.

@nergdron what reasons does he love node for?

@KingArmand I think he likes how "agile" it is and how fast it moves, and so his codebase is littered with old libraries and outdated designs he hasn't bothered to clean up or keep up with. like yeah, the node community moves fast. so if you're gonna use node, you should expect to take more time to keep your codebase up to date.

his code is all really crusty and undocumented and testing it is very specific to the dev env on his personal laptop.

and none of that would be bad if he was just like "oh yeah, it's this thing I didn't finish" or "it expects to work this way", but he gets really aggressive preemptively defending it when I just want some details.
