Ah, "The Copilot Delusion"—a riveting tale of two sentient beings arm wrestling over a keyboard, as one programmer is reborn as a mindless parrot 🤪. It seems our brave hero would prefer solitary confinement over sharing air with a "coworker" whose brightest idea rivals a toddler’s fork-in-socket escapades 🚀.

🤖🚨 "Michael, your virtual life is crashing harder than your dating history." ISO's latest pseudo-sci-fi mess with "calibrating personal reality" sounds like a failed Black Mirror pitch. Maybe try turning it off and on again, Michael. It's over, buddy, it's *so* over. 😂🔧

HBO's Mountainhead: Trailer Shows Its Billionaires Are Not Good.

Is Node.js the future of backend development, or just a beautifully wrapped grenade?

Lately, I see more and more backend systems, yes, even monoliths, built entirely in Node.js, sometimes with server-side rendering layered on top. These are not toy projects. These are services touching sensitive PII data, sometimes in regulated industries.

When I first used Node.js years ago, I remember:
• Security concepts were… let’s say aspirational.
• Licensing hell due to questionable npm dependencies.
• Tests were flaky, with mocking turning into dark rituals.
• Behavior of libraries changed weekly like socks, but more dangerous.
• Internet required to run a “local” build. How comforting.

Even with TypeScript, it all melts back into JavaScript at runtime, a language so flexible it can hang itself.

Sure, SSR and monoliths can simplify architecture. But they also widen the attack surface, especially when:
• The backend is non-compiled.
• Every endpoint is a potential open door.
• The system needs Node + a fleet of dependencies + a container + prayer just to run.

Compare that to a compiled, stateless binary that:
• Runs in a scratch container.
• Requires zero runtime dependencies.
• Has encryption at rest, in transit, and ideally per-user.
• Can be observed, scaled, audited, stateless and destroyed with precision.

I’ve shipped frontends that are static, CDN-delivered, secure by design, and light enough to fit on a floppy disk. By running them with Node, I’m loading gigabytes of unknown tooling to render “Hello, user”.

So I wonder:
Is this the future? Or am I just… old?

Are we replacing mature, scalable architectures with serverless spaghetti and 12-factor mayhem because “it works on Vercel”?

Tell me how you build secure, observable, compliant systems in Node.js.
Genuinely curious.
Mildly terrified and maybe old.

Yet another coder contraption to save you from yourself: introducing #Pipask, the pip you never asked for. 🙄 Now you can ⛑️ "safely" install Python packages with all the convenience of a root canal. Because nothing says efficiency like more menus and consent forms. 🎉

Sick of AI cheerleading?
I just dropped a spicy hit piece:

🤡 Oh wow, a magical script that transmutes into 111 languages, because writing 111 bad versions of the same thing is clearly what we all needed. 📜✨ But wait, #JavaScript required—because even sorcery isn’t exempt from the web's most "beloved" language. 🧙‍♂️🔮

🚨🎭 It's hilarious how this article claims testing is NOT a "sunk cost," yet spends 11 minutes of your life trying to convince you of its divine gospel. 🤔💡 Meanwhile, the "principal engineer" is too busy denying reality to notice the chaos his untested code wreaks—truly a Silicon Valley sitcom waiting to happen. 😂👨‍💻

A colleague warned me today:
"Please stop thinking too long-term and too sustainable - you are damaging the company!"

I haven't laughed this hard since the last system failure. 🤖🤣
