Node.js is boring stack for me. But instead I am asked to work with tools from the wet nightmares of React developers. Stuff that runs in Node - yet is designed as if Node, the DOM, or the OS, didn't exist. Now that's never boring. They can't even consider that everything might work better without their favorite tool, than with it. It's surreal. And awful.
