The whiskey aging process is influenced by time & place. Arenât we lucky. These barrels have all been influenced by the greatly varying temperatures & humidity levels of their original source and their time in our rick house in Red Hook, Brooklyn.

Omg Alex Chan is smashing it talking about building things to last. "Will an open source piece of code be supported 20 years into the future". Manual legal processes to approve every node dependency? Good luck with that.
