404 generation needs to be efficient for cases like this. Indeed! In general, it is an extremely efficient response. It took a huge number of users all hammering on the same set of 404 handling routes to get our attention, and we were abl

Modules are quickly switching to using nan, which is required anyway for working with both 0.10 and 0.12, so io.js merely accelerated the incentive to use it. As far as "big sites", several are starting to roll out io.js deploymen

Sure, but no worse (or even all that different) from any other Node release. The community will gradually upgrade, and it'll be fine. You don't see many people using `node.http.cat()` any more, for example. And yet the community

Because people keep pinging me on twitter about this, I feel like I ought to explain a bit more. What's going on in the pattern described is that you're getting a `BazWidget1` object from the `foo` module. Then, you're passi

Male here. Yes. Many many times. If anything, this is a very conservative report. I'm guessing that you've seen it, too. Probably you didn't notice it, because it wasn't directed at you, and everyone in the room was

^Lift gave us a really reasonable rate based on the number of people, the amount of time spent, and the number of weeks that they'd be poking at stuff. They were extremely easy to work with, and very fast about getting stuff to us and

No, you are not understanding this all correctly. By the time our lawyers got involved, I had already tried at length to reach resolution amicably. You're seeing a small piece of a conversation taken out of context. Also, they filed

Good question! There are a few benefits to doing it this way. 1. Backwards compatibility, as you mention. We do plan on re-evaluating and seeing what client changes would allow us to do this more efficiently, but there's a big time l

Really, what happened 2 months ago was just the tail end of what had taken many months to build up. I say "last year", because it started much earlier, as Ben alluded to in his parting message. People outside a team rarely have m

We've looked into making benefit corp or dual-purpose corp for npm, and it's still on the table. The tricky thing is that, while there ARE some VCs that back them, most of them are pretty interested in bigger plays than "shar
