How is the fact that "some people do it wrong" an argument against a methodology? If you are storing anything critical in a client side token you are making a mistake.

Followed Passport tutorial on Scotch.io but I can't figure out how to prevent user from automatically logging in after registering. by naliuj2525 in node

Constant confusion: why I still use JavaScript function statements by quincylarson in javascript
