“JavaScript as a language is evolving year over year with new implementations and new language features, and we need to make sure we stay on top of those.” Code analysis tools can help a developer understand code. One tool for code analysis is bitHound, which provides code and dependency analysis for NodeJS applications. On today’s episode, we discuss how to use a code analysis tool–and we also talk about how to build one, by breaking down the distributed architecture of bitHound’s backend. Questions  What is code analysis? Why does JavaScript need specific attention with regards to quality of code? Why is dependency analysis so important in Node applications? What are the challenges associated with building bitHound? Can you describe how you designed your master-slave architecture? Do you plan to expand your product to other languages besides JavaScript? What are your thoughts on the build vs buy debate?
