My current company decided to do all automation in node.js.
Crawling, new projects, processes, all of it in Node.

Fuck my life.

"Hey I'm new here, what operating system do you guys use?"

NodeJS

@mundo03 :(

@mundo03 Kill it with fire.

At least it's not SharePoint. There's always a silver lining

Wtf

Look at the bright side ! You can now sit idle looking at your terminal doing npm install for hours !

What would be your language of choice? ^^

@Sunsette python, ruby o go.

Sounds expensive and extremely messy.

Relying on node, that is.

@bahua exactly

That's awesome dude! That's gonna be gre... Oh, it says "Node" I thought I read "Go".

Yeah, you're fucked.

@telephantasm is Go so much better? I'm planning to learn Go or Rust, haven't decided yet

Leave while you still can

Why does the company decide what tools we should use?

Like didn't they hire us as SMEs?

@muttley this one was based on the skillset of the one person who a C level likes.
This person gets moved around projects constantly.

And to put it on the C words, they are trying to "clone" this person, so yeah we are hiring node developers to do automation...

Yeah man, fuck your life

@spyridonas

It has its place, but it isn't, in my opinion, in system automation.
