Took over a NodeJS/SailsJS project from a previous developer that is no longer working at the company. There's no documentation or requirement docs and the models need to be rewritten as some have up to 67 attributes in them.

Looked through the source code file by file to see how bad it was and it will more than likely be easier to start over then to try and refactor and cleanup the existing project into a usable state.

As bonus, I was given the option to switch the entire stack if needed as well.

NodeJS devs
what would you recommend for a highly data intensive project that *may scale* to a large level?
Express, SailsJS, or Meteor?

I always thought I suffered from imposter syndrome until I saw what the previous developer on this NodeJS/SailsJS project did.

They put return statements inside of a switch block. He also put in the break statements as well. The return statements were the exact same thing every time it was written.

Fuck shitty JS developers....

Starting with sailsjs today, tips n tricks welcome ^.^

sorry for fans, but SailsJS... it sucks

If your documentation doesn't have a search function i cant take it seriously.

Back to AdonisJS i go

Lesson learned .. never use sailsjs

Magic data loss
