Not OP but what I think they struggled with is fixing warnings. JS projects are like a poorly built house, things are constantly deteriorating and need constant maintenance.

I've got a new nodejs project that a colleague wrote about 6 months ago. It's already completely broken and needed a lot of effort to get working again.

On the other hand his php project from 2011 still works, just as my perl stuff from 2006 still just works.

This doesn't sound foreign to me. Node projects rely on a lot of dependencies (and so does their dependencies) so there is a lot of moving parts and it's prone to break.
