    Are "tree shaking" and "registry" slang for something? I'm not as down with the kids as I used to be.

    @atheist Tree shaking is Javascript and it stands for dead code elimination, registry means the NPM package registry.

    NPM was down for an hour and a half today, and during that period it became too late to push to prod.

    Also tree shaking isn't "javascript", it's software engineering.

    The first tree shaking was in Lisp.

    @atheist I thought everyone else calls it dead code elimination.

    It’s called “way too many tools” now

    @chovy There's never too many tools, just undervalued workers who don't feel like their learning is compensated.

    I make 10k more than I did in 2001. Way more tools now.
