OK! So in one of my previous blog posts, I tried to figure out how the Node main process is initialized. I ended up not being successful in that endeavor. As it turns out, the slide deck I was using as documentation to guide my code reading was a little out of date and referenced some parts of the code base that were moved. Thankfully, one of Node’s maintainers (@Fishrock123) clarified this for me on Twitter and guided me towards the correct file. So now I know the right place to start!
