I am the "Director of Everything that I don't find Tedious" at our place. I also know somebody who is "CEO and Head of EMEA Accounts" and doesn't own a passport.
.....not that I am sceptical of job titles you understand :)

Henrik,
C'mon, dude. Have you seen Aaron's job title? He's Director of IBM i Innovation. If I gave somebody that job title, and they didn't have their nose in a bunch of new technologies at any one time, I would be telling him to get busy. That's his job. Find ways to innovate on the IBM i.
And I'm sure KrengelTech will find a way to cope when Aaron retires. We use a lot of different technologies in our IT department (we have offices, truck drivers, and warehouses to support). We always find people that we have the skills, or the willingness to learn the skills.
Thanks,
Kelly Cookson

Aaron
let me ask you a simple question ...
"Who is going to maintain the trail of different programming technologies you leaves behind you when you choses to leave the building?"

I've been mostly trying to stay out of the debate though have been
watching it. A couple comments:
1 - The internet has never known the amount of workload the likes of
Netflix/LinkedIn/Walmart/etc are processing. Easy for us to sit back
with our 1/10000th of a work load and say the technology/approach is junk.
2 - Each of these shops didn't start out with Node.js and instead
moved to Node.js from something else. I think Walmart said they liked
Java/Servlets but couldn't develop in it fast enough. They more
features faster because of Amazon.
3 - The sheer amount of open source can become unwieldy. That's why
the community started creating things like ruby-toolbox.com to convey
stats about open source categories (i.e. ORM) to lessen the amount of
time a programmer needs to spend researching options. In short, this
is aggregation at its best.
4 - Jade/haml/<insert other html-lessening technology> are great
tools for creating more whitespace in the view layer code. Less for
my eyes to consume means faster to maintain (for me anyways).
5 - EGL had(has?) phenomenal technology that I don't know if it has
been accomplished well in other stacks. For example, front-end to
back-end line-by-line visual debugger. IBM screwed up and thought it
could manufacture a language and bring it to popularity. They've
since learned you need to buy your way into existing popularity (i.e.
purchase of StrongLoop - a big Node.js player).
6 - Neils, keep pursuing Javascript on JVM and let us know how it goes.
I've also gotten Scala working though haven't developed anything of
significance yet.
