> This is a rant written by someone with just enough understanding to be dangerous, but not quite enough wisdom to know why things are still the way they are. Most of the complaints raised are subtly inaccurate.
Author seems aware of CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE: https://source.small-tech.org/site.js/app/-/issues/169 and https://github.com/istanbuljs/nyc/issues/1281 – the "side effects" are NodeJS explicitly checking for it, so that's a NodeJS thing and not a Linux thing.
Yet curiously it's completely unmentioned in this article, in spite that this is probably what started the author's dislike of privileged ports. I guess it was inconvenient as it got in the way of angrily ranting.
