I don't know if I'm supposing too much, but maybe that "rate-limit" logic can be set on the load balancer (if you use any of them on your setup), so you don't actually need to add specific logic to your Node.js server and complicate things. Some links: https://devcentral.f5.com/articles/where-you-rate-limit-apis-matters-21384 https://www.haproxy.com/blog/use-a-load-balancer-as-a-first-row-of-defense-against-ddos/ https://www.nginx.com/blog/rate-limiting-nginx/

I would suggest you to start learning Webpack and get better at npm and maybe yarn. Bower is getting deprecated as time goes along with Gulp.

This could be useful, or it can be dangerous. In terms of "how am I doing my job" it could be a great way to measure myself, and see if I'm productive in my day-to-day job. On the other side, it could make me feel sad sometimes because I'm stuck on some bug, or today "I don't have a good day" in general; the metrics will be worst than some other day and this could affect my work the day after that. So imho this should be used carefully, or you will became obsesive about your job.

We have a real man here! :D

Could you please explain exactly what is the difference between this and the old one? As @niagr I've been developing my app for a couple of weeks and I don't see any difference.

A lot of code imho. I still prefer a video animation as a background.

Mmmm sexy. Thanks!

Absolutely. In fact, there are a lot of good online courses that teach you how to code from a very beginning level up to a master developer. Coursera, Udacity and universities like Stanford have some good lessons about that. When you acquire the required skills, work from home will be just the next step (the easy one imo). Good luck!
