I do think node is for real. I'm a database architect by trade, but have picked up a copy of nodejs in action to try to get in on this. I plan to get up to speed and start creating sites with a MEAN stack. If all I get out of it is increased javascript skills and linux familiarlity, then it'll be time well spent. My current shop is .net/windows, but in the last couple years we've introduced nginx, python (django), and angular. Times they are a changin'.
