Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Not entirely the usual fare, but i figured some here would appreciate it

I often rag on the js/node/npm ecosystem for being utter garbage, and this post is a quite a full demonstration of many of the shortcomings and outright total design failures present in that space

In the micro, it’s usually the correct choice to have SaaS everywhere. I don’t mean the anti-labor parts like “outsource your entire [X] department to a SaaS product”, but for infrastructure? Akamai, azure, AWS, google, cloudflare, etc. are all vastly more qualified, because of scale, to manage the threat landscape. And once you’re in that ecosystem why not tie yourself into it tighter and tighter? The next thing you know US-East-1 goes down & your entire crisis mitigation system is busted.
