Title: Add myself to talk about static analysis and whatnot.

This is your life as a Javascript developer. You look at metadata all day long. You make decisions on it. Which package is right for me? If it has the most dependents or Github stars that means it is good, right?

Play this game enough times and you learn there is more to choice than metadata. **There is code.** I've been conducting some research on static analysis visualization and indexing. The focus of this talk will be how to get the static analysis data with esprima (and maybe Manta for public npm packages) and how to search ASTs for a few meaningful patterns.
