Dang (or new person) can we please have a black bar?
Everyone that sends an HTTP request in Node uses Mikeal’s work: firstly he wrote the first NPM module to handle HTTP requests and then he worked tirelessly to ensure that module was never needed and high-level excellent HTTP support was built into node JS itself.
Mikeal also worked on freeing node.js from Joyent via the iojs fork, and ran node events way before it was commercially viable to do so.
- sandinmyjoints 1y agoI really appreciated his work on setting up governance for Node (in addition to his work on request and other stuff as other people have mentioned). It is probably largely forgotten now, but at the time it seemed like a big risk to Node being able to move forward technically and generally. I remember that the day Joyent agreed to let go of Node, he posted somewhere about celebrating at a bar in Oakland, where I lived at the time, but I was tired and didn't feel like being social so didn't attend, which I have always regretted since it would have been great to meet him in person and celebrate the victory.
