Mosh wrapped up the tutorial with a summary and a roadmap for next steps: databases, authentication, deployment. "You now have the foundation," he said, his parting smile genuine. "Go build something amazing."
He laughed out loud. It was 1:00 AM. He had just built a web server from scratch.
When Mosh introduced Express, Arjun felt a jolt of genuine excitement. Routing, middleware, request handling—concepts that had been abstract nightmares suddenly snapped into focus like puzzle pieces. He built a simple route: app.get('/', (req, res) => res.send('Hello from my server!')); . He refreshed his browser at localhost:3000 and saw his message rendered on a clean white page.
The moment Mosh spoke, something shifted. There was no "um," no "like," no twenty-minute preamble about the history of JavaScript. Mosh’s voice was a steady, reassuring current.
Arjun smiled and typed his reply: "A midnight tutor named Mosh."
