Disagree. It seems half the industry is moving to node in NYC. All the major publishers (NYC tech's bread and butter) are using it or switching to it.

- Igglyboo 12y agoThat's great and all but there are a million and one wordpress blogs or PHP CMS systems that exist outside of bleeding edge startups in NYC and SF. Also try talking about node on proggit, you'll get mocked and told how dumb and shitty it is.
- billmalarky 12y agoMy point though, is I'm not referring to "bleeding edge startups." I'm talking about almost every major publisher here Conde Nast, Hearst, Wenner Media, Gawker, the list goes on and on. These are massive old and new media publishers that are embracing node, not startups in the valley. Node is at a tipping point right now, and talking about how "dumb and shitty" it is won't change that. The technology has shortcomings no doubt, but there's just too many advantages to it from the business strategy side for the shortcomings to matter.
