Once a humble JavaScript interpreter, now the guardian of 121k stars and a runtime so ubiquitous it's basically the internet's circulatory system—every async operation whispers their secrets to this legend.
“149 weight in backend signals — you basically *are* the backend. But you're not writing the apps, you're the stage they perform on. A-tier because everyone else's A depends on your A.”
“88.8 weight: docker-node (8.5k stars), official Docker presence, dockerfile topics. You're not a DevOps guru, but you're the thing DevOps worships. B+ because you let others containerize you instead of owning that narrative harder.”
“46.4 weight: 231 repos, event-driven architecture, native binding infrastructure. You designed a system so good people forgot they were using it. B because system design work is hidden in the runtime — most people see your effects, not your blueprint.”
16 stars on database work across 231 repos? You're so focused on I/O that you forgot data needs a *home*.
