What this article clearly puts on display is "Ignorance". The incidental Ignorance shown by original 'freelance' programmer as far as node.js and the Ignorance shown by marak of what IBM developer works is. It's like calling out PG to remove an article from HN. So as bad as the article was, the title and the blog post is blatant link baiting and an effective hatchet job on IBM. IBM probably doesn't care about node, why should it? Node.js is in no way impacting their bottom line, Node.js isn't even on their radar.

I'm fully aware of how Developer Works operates and that IBM isn't directly responsible for any of the content posted.

With that being said, the clout gained from being posted on IBM.com means a lot to many people who have no idea how Developer Works is run and randomly come across the article from a google search.
