What is the point of learning Node.js?
I can build API just with t3 app, so why would I bother learning node?

T3 is typescript, which runs on node...... What are you talking about
Yep, I do agree. It’s basically pointless to understand the V8 engine. Especially when you can build with t3 app.
yeah who needs basic language features like types when you have prisma & trpc
why learn sql when you have prisma
you just gave a really bad answer :^)
learning V8 is pointless for most, Yes.
But learning node itself, it's built-ins/core-libs (process,streams,buffers) etc. and also it's underlying runtime, the event loop, is crucial if you want to go beyond your usual t3 stack and level up your understanding/skill with nodejs
because learning SQL can provide a gateway into learning actually how your data is queried from the database, and also optimizing the slow queries generated by Prisma so you can save those extra read/writes of your database ( potentially saving 2+x cost if you pay for those db r/ws) 😉
r/woooosh
I realized that after writing btw 🫠
Ah, no worries. We all have our moments.
also is this a meme template or did you just doodle it on the fly? 
Oh it’s a template yeah
