I already have a personal policy of not using any tool written in Node.js unless absolutely necessary. I don't want that behemoth on my system, nor the supply-chain attack surface its package ecosystem brings with it.
If I see a project that looks neat, but is done with Node.js, I immediately look for alternative implementations in other languages. Yeah I'm a snob but so far it's worked out well.

Lol, bro, only obsolete thing here is your modern stack awareness. Node is mess, if you need JS runtime there is Deno and Bun.
On second paragraph - what prompt produces these hallucinations?

it would be very funny if nodejs ends up having a more sensible AI policy than systemd and KDE

The chaos gremlin inside me wants it to be merged so that Node.js crashes a chunk of the Internet and it'll be like another left pad incident.

AI or not, anyone can just fuck right off with an 18kloc pull request.

Idk, can node be more trash?
