There are some good points in the piece, but aside from "You can easily hire people to work on the latest hot thing" the benefits boil down to some back-end architectural patterns that make good sense, and are achievable on many different stacks. We too build "small modules piped together" however we use python, java, and redis or rabbitMQ for the plumbing. I have some problems with python as an enterprise development language, but many more with JS. Lately my colleagues and I have been talking about Go a bit, so we'll see where that... um... goes.
