Isn't it the point of all this madness that jumping the shark for these small and trivial problems is fun and thought provoking?

Jumping the shark is the moment when something, such as a TV show, or in this case a community around a web framework, begins to decline in quality beyond recovery, so “jumping the shark for these small and trivial problems” really doesn't make sense.

No, "jumping the shark" is a single event so monumentally stupid that the show can never recover from it.

Node.js didn't jump the shark. It has some stupid users, but what language doesn't? That he got stupid answers from the community doesn't mean Node.js itself is bad.
