In this episode, they dive deep into the essential practices and principles for successful Node.js development. AJ and Dan are joined by special guests Michael Dawson, James Snell, and Matteo Collina. They bring a wealth of expertise and experience to the table, discussing key topics like experimental tech with existing web standards, managing updates with LTS releases, and the fundamental pillars of Node.js, including the critical concept of "not blocking the event loop."
They explore the consequences of blocking the event loop, real-world insights into performance issues, and the importance of efficient task handling. They also share their wisdom on utilizing multi-threading, scaling applications, best practices for dependency management, and the significance of regular updates to maintain security and performance.
Additionally, they touch on some fascinating side discussions, such as AI's role in coding, the evolution of package management, and the importance of intentional coding practices. There's even a bit of personal insight with recommendations for exciting Netflix series and real-world anecdotes about Node.js conferences and testing frameworks.
Join them as they unravel these topics and more, guiding you through advanced Node.js
