NodeJS is, but neither modules nor backends have to be.
It's quite common to spin up a bunch of docker containers that provide databases and backends locally.
This is the point at which the MBA stops being a productive environment. I'm not saying this has to be the case for every project, but if your team uses local dev environments, it's quasi standard procedure at this point.

Right, but the GC was talking about developing JS applications on their computer, so presumably they were referring to compiling frontend JS projects, which multiple cores would not help, I think.
