Is there a blog post or retrospective about the things y'all had to invent/adapt/overcome in using NodeJS? Your interview was the topic of much conversation where I worked at the time; we were a C# shop instead of PHP/Node but we were moving into Big Data and there was agitation to adopt every trendy language for the various bits of the pipeline (Scala for Spark; Java for Storm; Python just because) and your comments about using a stack you know well and Dan KcKinley's "Choose Boring Technology" blog post[1] were the touchstones for the "let's not get too trendy with our language/tech choices" camp.
