+#### Do I still need this dependency for my Node.js app?
+
+##### Goal
+
+Advancements over time in Node.js are improving the out of the box experience.
+New versions are released all the time across Active LTS and Current development lines.
+It's easy to miss something between the release notes and our busy work schedules.
+
+Each of these on its own is respectable, but together they make a more cohesive narrative.
+This also shows a [healthy ecosystem at work](https://brianmuenzenmeyer.com/posts/2024-do-i-need-this-node-dependency/#oss-pace-layers),
+with projects learning from one another and their users.
