This is a story of a bug I had an opportunity to fix in the ancient times of node.js 0.10. The new and shiny node.js 0.12 was still just glimmering somewhere on the horizon, we were still young and beautiful. Some of us, at least. Let me take you on an adventure through time and space. Hopefully, there will be some learning involved along the way. So hop on the magic school bus and we’re off!
