I prefer this to having app.use / router.use scattered anywhere throughout the app init (i.e. Express)

Success is a lousy teacher. Mr. Musk has been dreaming about his "everything app" i.e. X.com for a very long time. The fact that he thinks the sinking Twitter ship will bring it to fruition is laughable.

Looks like the top comment was spot on. Were HN users the "Avengers" mentioned in OP?

There are a limited number of people willing to spend a limited amount of time fuzzing, reviewing, and scrutinizing crypto libraries. The more libraries exist, the more their efforts are divided, and the total scrutiny each library receives decreases. How would this help the problem?

Actually, among the MAGMA companies I've found the _least_ bias for leetcode-memorization at Amazon.

My interview with Meta was exactly as you described (a CS riddle taken from a textbook, to be solved without running the code or receiving hints). But in my interview with Amazon, each coding interview also included a couple leadership questions. If you want you can look up the exact questions that they'll give you to test what they call their "Leadership Principles"

Also the Amazon coding questions were not taken directly from Leetcode, and were easily reasoned out without prior knowledge of a special algorithm.

Obviously this is true but CK doesn't sell dollar bills for 90 cents.

Yes..... and the only way a $444M quarterly revenue company "aren't profitable at all" is if their costs are >$444M / quarter. That's what my comment was getting at. Does GP really think a business like CK costs that much to run?

Your guess is wrong, their Q2 revenue this year was reported $444M

Having seen several projects written by people who "happen to know some code," I can tell you there's a good reason this hasn't caught on.

These sort of people can work the very foundations of the company into an ungodly quagmire that would send you screaming back to the fad-chaser dev in a heartbeat.

Also despite the meme, most mid-senior devs are actually keen on making their contributions valuable to the business, having gotten over this phase of fascination with new tools

The difference will be painfully clear once you try to walk a junior developer through installing and linking new files to a large project in Visual Studio, vs "copy this .h file here and include it".

Whether or not a "good build system" should handle it, the fact that single-file libraries are much preferred these days should demonstrate most people don't have such a build system

There is a stigma amongst "real programmers" against "web developers". So a "real programmer" will never become adept at CSS because it doesn't appeal to their ego

Sure, high salaries are justified for this minority.

The people mentioned specifically in the comment are of more concern; sales, admin, etc. salaries in this field are also inflated compared to other industries.

What other packages have you seen abusing import side effects?

Shopify is the first one I've seen, so I don't think it's quite as common as you are implying, but I'm curious to know what other bad behavior you have found
