Javascript on the backend is HORRIBLE. From a dev UX perspective it's a terrible cluster of random errors, and strange workarounds.

One time a project I was working on wouldn't run with some random ass error from some random ass node module. Try try try, not working. Spent 2 hours trying to find an answer online. For the hell of it I tried again and this time it ran with NO code changes.

That's the day Javascript as a backend language died for me. It's a house of cards stuck together with chinese knockoff glue.

Everytime I try to get excited about Javascript on the server and built anything of substance, every damned module's example code is nothing but a bunch of console.logs. There's must be some magical framework I'm missing where that's a way to build apps. (Console Dot Logs on Fails?)

Except something did change, and it wasn't JS's fault. If it wasn't the code, it was the environment (time, variables, FS, system resources, etc.).
