      While it’s a bit opportunistic to blame JS in the backend in this case, I despise JS in the backend enough to happily join you.

      Serves you well JS enthusiasts, your programming language is the only one that I despise more the more I learn about it. :P

      This always struck me as a rather silly idea, to be honest.

      Now we’ve come full circle. I have a vendor who is insisting that I use node.js and pull their code from their NPM repository from the same… For frontend code. Just, have the entire contents of your (their) node_modules folder exposed to the public internet at all times. Isn’t this just Javascript with extra steps?
