"Our initial logging implementation accidentally included a synchronous call to write to disc." You really want to avoid synchronous calls all of the time in node.js unless you are at a point in the app's life where it makes sense to block

I would remove the Mastering Node link from the resources. It is pretty far out of date and a lot has changed in the 9 months since it has been updated. Specifically it does not mention the binaries for installing node, includes old, unusab
