Miscellaneous
Modern Node.js Development Workflow
This article will explore the recent transformations in Node.js development, focusing on the adoption of ES Modules (ESM) and the introduction of built-in web APIs. You will learn about the shift from CommonJS to ESM, the benefits of the node: prefix for built-in modules, and the simplification of initialization through top-level await. Additionally, you will discover how Node.js now includes the Fetch API and AbortController, reducing the need for external dependencies and providing a more consistent developer experience.
Writing Code Is Modelling
Writing code is not just about syntax, it's about modelling and creating a structured mental representation of a process or system, then encoding it in a way a machine can understand, as seen in the experiences of non-coders who can read but not write code.
Agent Coding Tools
Testing seven coding agents, including Bolt, Replit, Lovable, Windsurf, Codex, and Cursor, reveals significant limitations but also potential for productivity boost, as they can make programmers more efficient, but struggle with complex real-world tasks.
