I'm sure like me your inbox is inundated with "Black Friday" specials, even got a $30 coupon from newegg (min spend $70) because their site went down for a few hours yesterday.
firstly I don't get this whole "Black Friday" stuff -- the deals mostly start on Saturday (midnight between Friday and Saturday) and end on midnight Sunday (just before Monday)
- and that's not considering the "pre Black Friday" deals that started last Monday
Ohh that would be nice, that's just too cheap to miss, a spare one of those would be useful...
there are some amazing great deals, tempting, and this far I've bought:

Wow! So far, you've bought more than I have!
I did buy some ink for my printer yesterday, but that wasn't on sale...

Morrisons in the UK (supermarket) have been advertising it as "Black Five Days". Why would I buy something I don't want (Surf) just because it is on (purported) special offer?

Women will pay $5 for a $10 item they don't need.
Men will pay $10 for a $5 item they do need.
Such is life.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

It is an amazing great deal from the salesmans perspective. And no car-salesman who doesn't offer an amazing great deal.

We bought one of these[^], it wasn't on sale but we bought it to get away from people who do do black Friday and other sh*t!
I may not be that good looking, or athletic, or funny, or talented, or smart
I forgot where I was going with this but I do know I love bacon!

You got it all wrong - this year November had only 22 days (Crazy 11 / November Sale ended that day), and Black Friday lasts a week long...

So I see the whole of high performance, load balanced , fault tolerant, high volume transactions systems making use of Node.js in recent years. I guess before Node came into existence, It was all about J2EE , Enterprise standard .net, Biztalk etc etc, Some form of Distributed design towards performance/ scalability.
Node.js, with its V8 power has clearly taken the focus light in recent years. Most of the big companies should be using Node.js in one way or other.
Now Node is not brand new, (Initial release :May 27, 2009) it's already a decade old.
Just curious what the industry is looking up to, now.
Is it just Node.js V10, or something totally new coming up ?

I couldnt put up a respectable, single worded equivalent for J2EE.
May be I should say, Asp.net- MVC- EF - IIS -Biztalk-blah-blah?
For Microsoft , Was there anything like "J2EE" that bundles up things into a single enterprise grade buzz word?
Or it was always a simple ".net"?

An enterprise is simply a large company. There's no "enterprise" version of .NET, but I already know that won't stop the programmers from using it.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. On the other hand, what do I know? I'm a desktop programmer, we folks have a slower pace of changing toolsets than the web ecosystem.

Maybe that's why desktop applications don't have the sheer number of bugs found in web applications. We're not constantly looking for the latest toolset fad.

I'm looking forward to Nerd.js as a logical replacement, capable of figuring out for itself how to solve new and complex challenges, without the need for inconsistent and unreliable human assistance.
