Code is Cool Products are Better
summary
Claim: shipping products matters more than perfect code. A four and a half person team uses Node.js and Express with a small in-house Express Mongoose plugin to accept promises as route results so responses are concise and error handling stays correct. Client Ajax is replaced by a delegated data-dynamic attribute that serializes actions and a managed JSON response format. Instrumentation via require.extensions and a recurring global leak test catches regressions and works in production workflows.
