I don’t think he’s entirely wrong. That being said, citing frontend examples of why Node is bad for a server side language is a reach.

I feel like arguing about which languages “suck” is generally reserved for the peak of Dunning Kruger mountain. Code is code, write better code.

At least this snide snobbery is vaguely cheeky.

Rather than being an homage to prowess of "real programmers," it's just trite well tread moaning against easy targets, catastophizing as usual how bad things are. Yes, they certainly do grow into these monsters,... when I'll maintained by the corporation. All projects would, no matter thr tool choice.

Nitpick, I highly doubt Facebook invented GraphQL on Node.js.
