As much as this whole Ted-gate thing has turned into a amped up argument of sorts, there has been a significant amount of knowledge for everyone shaken out of the trees about node.js as a result.

Take for example this implementation, how many people getting started with node knew about async or memoization?

Could be just me, but I learned a lot about what not to do and how to do certain things more efficiently with node as a result of the whole fiasco.

Thanks Ted :)
