In June 1988, recording as The Timelords, the KLF had a UK number one single with Doctorin' the Tardis. Shortly afterwards they released a step by step guide to achieving a number one single named The Manual (How to Have a Number One the Easy Way).
If you feel it fits with the narrative of the day, I’d be more than happy to come along to this event to provide a chapter about how sharp, my image resizing module for Node.js, became the number one trending repo on Github.
Although I’ve been tracking Node.js as a technology for around four years, it’s only within the last year that I’ve immersed myself in the ecosystem, a community that reminds me of the one built around Perl ~15 years ago.
But back to the story... an anecdote of what I’ve learnt creating the glue between this hugely popular JavaScript platform and a 25 year old academic project originating at London's National Gallery.
It’s the story of multi-threading in a single-threaded world, dealing with Node’s immature and ever-changing C++ APIs.
It’s the story of a module that is already in use on the New York Times website.
It’s the story of managing feature requests and handling cross-system dependencies.
It’s the story of how I finally understood the beauty of Promises and Streams.
