Not so fast. Did you uppercase the first letter of the file and tested on macos and windows? It will fail on linux. Did you create a file called con.js and test it on non-windows machine? It will fail on windows. Did you rely on sub-second precision timestamps? It will fail on some windows machines.

This is a leaky abstraction. People will run into problems.
