Maggie Pint - SeattleJS Conference 2017
summary
Moment.js moves to immutable Moment.js and the talk lays out concrete library patterns: prefer static invocation for tiny helpers and factory objects for chainable APIs (jQuery, moment), use options objects for complex configuration (Intl 402 example), pick best-by-default only when a >90% case exists (redirects handled automatically vs confusing timezone defaults that triggered ~2,400 closed issues), and treat errors differently—throw on developer mistakes but gracefully handle user input to avoid crashing Node processes.
