"Anyone who disagrees with me is a junior engineer." Just because a new feature can't always easily be slipped into old codebases doesn't make it a bad feature.
Yes, it’s 100% junior, amateur mentality. I guess you like pointless toil and not getting things done.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
isn’t this just like one of the few problems that is completely solvable today with LLM coding agents?
Ideally, a codemod would fix this, but the two module systems are incompatible for dynamic programming reasons.
Yet more architecture astronaut behavior by people who really should just be focusing on ifs, fors, arrays, and functions.
Don’t forget the native typescript transpiler which reduces the complexity a lot for those using TS
The killer upgrade here isn’t ESM. It’s Node baking fetch + AbortController into core. Dropping axios/node-fetch trimmed my Lambda bundle and shaved about 100 ms off cold-start latency. If you’re still npm i axios out of habit, 2025 Node is your cue to drop the training wheels.

It’s pretty obviously bad. There was no need to design such a bad module system and basically destroy the work of others for no benefit. Yes, it’s 100% junior, amateur mentality. I guess you like pointless toil and not getting things done.

ESM is literally a standard. You can rant all you want, but you'll adopt it anyway.
No idea why you think otherwise, I’m over here actually shipping.

node fetch is WAY better than axios (easier to use/understand, simpler); didn't really know people were still using axios
You can obviously do that with fetch but it is more fragmented and more boilerplate
