Every Node.js LTS release is accompanied with a codename of an element in increasing alphabetical order.

4 - Argon

6 - Boron

8 - Carbon

10 - Dubnium

12 - Erbium

14 - Fermium

16 - Gallium

18 - Hydrogen

20 - Iron

The Node team have a problem with their next major release – there aren't any elements beginning with J to codename it with. Android ran into this same problem with desserts and the letter Q, will be interesting to see how the Node team solves this conundrum.

Turns out they ended up merging a PR that adds the codename "Jod" for Node 22. The Q problem, however, still remains unsolved.
