For the longest time (relatively speaking), I would do full stack Javascript (like the meme). But I have to frequently tie into AD/LDAP and the only decent NodeJS library for LDAP is no longer maintained because the community was shitty to the dev. Now I've had to venture out into Go (I can't stand working in Python).
Let this be a reminder to be nice to the developers who are giving you their hard work for free.
Wow, it's rare that I encounter a tech spat where I can so thoroughly empathize with both parties simultaneously. Thank you for sharing that link, I'd never heard of node-ldap nor it's history.
You're empathizing with the troll, too? ๐
FYI: What the troll is describing is not required all. I don't know what they're on about, but I've used ldap-js in many projects without having to do any of that.
