My recollection might be failing me. But I do not remember the level of excitement described in the article for the Original iPhone. I remember it for the next iPhone (3G/2), but not the initial.
ASP has had server-side "Javascript" for years. The magic sauce in Node.js is the combination of async, JS, and package management.
Is the css in the screen shot "good". It seems to really unnecessarily break any sort of distinction between presentation and content. For example what is the practical reason for using class "white-text" on a text span…

It is completely fair to distinguish "Internal Reprogrammability" from configurability with respect to Emacs. Emacs is vastly different than most systems that are highly configurable that you mention.
I suspect that it varies by environment. I have worked in environments where it is 95% alone and other environments where it is 95% collaboration. Some places actually do "pair programming".
It may cause future problems, but things like Visual Basic with the graphical interface are very easy for a child to understand (or at least me). As the artifacts that you are interacting with in the GUI are in the…
I have worked with a couple of systems that used very course grained sharding at the application level. I did not notice these drawbacks. I have not worked with one that did auto sharding on the back end, that might be…
In the real world, people did not realize that Google Glass had "a shower moment"
