Not sure though. But top of it you would probably use backbone.js in both server and client. Another advantage is we have UI developers who are now writing server code to be much more. To some level it is giving a path way for one language everywhere paradigm. However, server side coding required much more capabilities like performant code, scaling etc., but for normal websites it is easy to go with node as it kills some amount learning curve.

I mean to say, suppose they have to finish a document. Now due to the time factor they are "making-up" something to achieve the deadline. They know they are "intentionally" missing something.

Now this is okay that the document ends up to be expected one. But the mindset of someone will catch me if I miss it -- is this is normal? What if I fail to attend such daily meetings in future. At some point, once they realize, I am no more there to review them they will no longer producing "perfect" ones. Or I am doing lot of baby-sitting that made my team so dump they just follow my lines. Kind of have some thoughts around how to manage such team would be great to hear.

I manage around 70 people in very high level. There are managers who stands the floor to get the actual work done. I just go on daily meetings, just once in a day to understand where a job stands and give them directions.When I walk around floors, recently, I started hearing "do that way, steve will catch you."

"I was miserable. I couldn't stand San Francisco. I couldn't stand office life. I couldn't stand Wired. I took a long Christmas vacation. I got sick. I thought of suicide. I ran from the police. And when I got back on Monday morning, I was asked to resign."

A person who moved from developer to CTO to CEO I am warning you don't MISS college. I have found myself in strange situations without knowing Mathematics that I have to go back to basics to do my job. If you take it easily by looking at low hanging fruit you will suffer later. The memories and learning you will have from college will be always there with you like swimming -- no matter if you dont swim for 10yrs still you won't loose that talent.
