issue with newer versions of node

[flightnc]

In trying to use this repro outright, there seems to be both updates to node and also discord where it's giving a 'node:events - module not found' when running the node v16.17.0 (LTS version of v16).

After backtracking and re-building under the tutorial, it appears that the culprit is in index.js -- specifically:
require = require("esm")(module/, options/);`
After commenting this out, it seems to run.

Tim, if you have an explanation, that would be helpful to better understand esm within this context.
