On: If you're using Node.js, you're doing life wrong

[DevX101]

Socratic method for the win. Keep asking questions until THEY come the conclusion that what they were thinking was a dumb idea.

[awj → DevX101]

That works, but I think it's overkill. Generally the "don't argue like a jerk" method is sufficient.

[bunderbunder → awj]

And if you aren't good at it it's easy to come off as condescending. Thereby also causing you to be written off as a jerk.

Socrates was smart. He was also executed for being irritating.

[batista → bunderbunder]

No, he was executed for "advocating for new gods and against the gods of the city" (that was the actual charge).

You know, much alike someone insulting Mongo, Rails or Node in certain communities... (or Java, CL etc in others).

[rfrey → batista]

Also for corrupting the youth.

Again, much like Mongo, Rails, and Node. :)

[to3m → DevX101]

Do you think?
