Chance are, by the time you've learned anything, the wheel will have turned once again, ages will have come and passed, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the age that gave it birth comes again.

In the JS world, back or front-end, this process seems to be accelerating at a terrifying rate, heading to a singularity where all the accumulated brainpower of the human race is devoted to trying to keep up with the latest way that npm or node or babel or webpack has broken shit that previously worked.

Cute, but wrong. The basic architecture of Node has not changed, and the core modules are largely the same as they have been for years.

The question "How does Node work and how can I leverage it" (which is what GP is asking) is the same as it was a few years ago.

Literally none of this is true.
