Somewhat unrelated, but anyone interested in NowJS should definitely check out https://github.com/substack/dnode first...

My understanding is that developerWorks will buy any article that's not horrible. Thus you see a lot of mediocre stuff written by mediocre freelancers and consultants looking to make names for themselves and pick up a little money between contracts.

Developer Works is basically just an electronic magazine. Anyone can submit an articles.

There are plenty of positive node.js articles such as http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/cloud/library/cl-nodejsclo...

IBM cares about driving technology towards its own products, to thereby improve its own bottom line and shareholder value. It will promote and/or trash even its own product lines based on sales, not technical quality. It is a corporation. Why would you expect anything different?

Title is misleading.

Article he is referring to is in Developer Works, and is written by:

"Michael Abernethy, Freelance Programmer, Freelancer"

The only thing IBM related is the fact that IBM supports the DeveloperWorks community and pretty much lets anyone post anything there that sounds even remotely decent. It's up to the commenters and others to determine how useful the article is.

The OP clearly is new to DeveloperWorks. Does he also think Blogspot is responsible for all content published under Blogspot.com or tumblr responsible for all under tumblr.com?

What a joke. These same people (nodejitsu) said I/O has been done wrong for 30 years without, themselves, having done the research.

http://www.betabeat.com/2011/04/20/nodejitsu-raises-750k-fro...

I have also heard Charlie Robbins say you can't build a web framework without threads, in spite of Python having multiple single threaded systems. When challenged, he said, "that's still a thread." Riiiiight...

So, back at you nodejitsu.
