I'm not entirely sure why Node.js is constantly used as an example. Is this somehow 'distributed' vs. Rails/Django which are 'centralized?' Maybe it has to do with selling his "Deploy Node" product

Art isn't about copying something so that it looks realistic. Anyone with a decent amount of hand-eye coordination and patience can learn how to draw photorealistically and learn the techniques to copy a cup in front of them onto a pie

Art doesn't transfer well over any medium. That's why there are thousands upon thousands of Art School students that are not producing art after Art School. They go into different fields. You can't teach someone to become an
