summary
Shows a tiny Node.js demo calling IBM Watson that parses an article and returns keywords so the code actually runs, demonstrates how let/const fixes hoisting and why string interpolation cleans up concatenation, reproduces rest/spread and Set to get unique array items, contrasts old callback AJAX with the built‑in fetch API plus async/await that shortens code, sketches a service worker + Cache API interception that works for PWAs, and argues for dropping Internet Explorer 11 support.
