Is your team struggling to maintain a Node.js application?
@platformatic has worked with a group of brilliant contributors to publish the 9 Node Pillars: nine guiding principles for creating robust, scalable, and maintainable Node applications in enterprise environments.
Amazon is bringing back their staff to the office 5 days a week. A few predictions:
1. all big tech will follow suit
2. jobs that allow remote work will have a surge of applicants
3. a salary gap between in-person and remote jobs will come back

A friend of mine got laid off today… a Senior fullstack/Node.js developer now looking for a new job in the US. Happy to do the intro if anybody is hiring. I worked with him in the past and I can recommend.
I’m currently fighting an odd bug where two different majors of a module are loaded by typescript in a pnpm monorepo. This should not happen.
Is there a way to debug what files TypeScript is loading?
Good news: the @nodejs downloads reached an all-time high in August, when Node.js v20 finally surpassed Node.js v18!
Bad news: Node.js v16 still has major usage; go update, it has been out of LTS for a year!
Really bad news: who the heck is still using Node.js v14 and v12?
We set out to explore the state of SSR performance across today's most popular libraries, especially those that can be cleanly integrated with @fastifyjs.
So, what did we find? Let’s unpack these results🧵
TLDR; see diagram below.
@fastifyjs 1️⃣ Fastify-html delivered a whopping 975 requests per second in our tests.
This setup differs from all the others in that it doesn't require Vite, since no special syntax or transformations are required.

A quick reminder that the Node.js project is run by volunteers. Quite a few of our decisions are based on the availability of volunteers to do the required work. Very often, showing up and helping goes a long way. Therefore, stop complaining and get to work.
Every now and then I receive a PR that removes tests and docs from modules I maintain. npm releases are (mostly) immutable, while github repos are not. If a repo disappears, you want to be able to fork it from your local copy.

We've finished assemblying the agenda for @nodeconfeu! It's fantastic, going out in the next few days! Early bird tickets are out, but there are still a few available.

Dev: I have a memory leak
Me: Does your process crash for an OutOfMemory error?
Dev: no
Me: Then you don’t have a memory leak
(There might be still a memory management issue, but that’s not a leak).
Since I'm on the topic of @fastifyjs today, here's @platformatic's latest blog about the state of native React integration in the Fastify framework👇

For years, the Red Hat @nodejs team has been publishing articles on how to do Node.js correctly. They have also compiled a "reference architecture." I've also contributed by writing the foreword!
