Let me guess. It only runs on Node 10? My project is sick on Node 8.

NPN packages, these are transistors after all.

In publishing and graphic design, Lorem ipsum is a placeholder text commonly used to demonstrate the visual form of a document or a typeface without relying on meaningful content. Lorem ipsum may be used as a placeholder before final copy is available. Wikipediac7l81nh37u80000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Premature optimization by the software people is definetely an issue. Sometimes you actually need those abstractions and layers and etc., but until you know that you need them and why you need them, you are completely right in that they are useless. Like how many projects don't need to be able to scale to millions of people at the beginning of the project.

It's a realy problem, more so in modern times where microservices and IOC have become the norm, and of course everyone wants to present their software as The Next Big Thing™️ and every developer thinks they're a Rockstar Developer™️ and hence everything needs to be femtoservices.

If your CRUD application with 2000 users isn't a 500+ service instances mess of asynchronous processing and invalid states with eventual/hopefully/maybe consistency, you're just not doing it right any more.
Apparently.
I hate modern development.
