something I think nodejs software developers don't undestand is that using and running node-based software as an admin is miserable; it's basically impossible to package for a distro sanely, the actual software ends up taking up huge amounts of disk space, the dependency kudzu situation makes it really difficult to trust anything...
basically unless it's the only option I will avoid it. at least go software tends to result in easily usable binaries.

"just use docker" you know full well that this is not a solution it's just hiding the problem

@izzy@social.shadowkat.net docker solves one thing: "it works on my machine".

the problem is, we're supposed to deploy 'your machine' in production,,

@purple @izzy well I have seen docker compose build environment that definitively did not worked on my computer, guess what, I am using podman and there was some obscure networking setup. Nope there is zero guarantee that one’s container setup will work on another one’s machine. If it is simple container than yes, but nothing today is that simple. If you want distribute app then we have flatpak or appimage.
