The top 5 JavaScript issues in all our codebases - Phil Nash - NDC Oslo 2023

We all try to write the best code we can, but sometimes things slip through the cracks. With a look at the data from scans of thousands of projects, we can tell what the most common issues are in the codebases of all JavaScript developers.
In this talk we’ll take a look at those top issues that plague JavaScript projects around the world, we'll see why they are issues, and finally how to spot and avoid those common errors, issues or anti patterns. By the end of the talk you’ll feel more confident in your codebase and maybe have a few things to fix.

I think the presentation was almost as superficial as the tool itself. Most issues are with bad code design and lack of design patterns, and shallow understanding of programming paradigms, misunderstanding FP, aversion to OO, aversion to classes, etc., not with the use of language features or comments.
