Hmmm... That is kind of humorous, given that Nicholas was a consultant for us early last year as we started this effort. His team was also at PayPal today (from Box). That article was influenced to some degree by me giving a talk at Box HQ on this very topic.

Also, maybe you misunderstand what we are doing. We are using nodejs for the web app layer. But it could be used for services (like Walmart Labs is doing). You really have to determine the context, the people, the technology, the amount of risk, and so on to decide.

But I do agree, no one should see nodejs as a silver bullet.
