  "Jumped the shark” considered harmful.

    "Jumped the shark" posts are an antipattern.

      "Jumped the shark" joke comments are the sort of thing HNers vote down.

        Is """'"Talking about being down-voted before you voice an unpopular opinion" posts have jumped the shark' is dead!""" the "Considered Harmful"-Killer?

          I think that's what happened. I guess my meta joke was misunderstood...

  Jumping the shark means some organization has run out of ideas for one of its products and ends up resorting to the absurd to keep people interested. I'm not sure how this relates to node.js. From my perspective, there was an over-abundance of node.js articles on HN between 6 and 12 months ago. It got to the point where there was a huge backlash and since then there has been relatively minimal coverage of node.js. In other words, node has transitioned from its rapidly fluctuating transient state to its long-term steady state and articles like this just won't resonate with anyone anymore.
