"You can’t shoot yourself in the foot in any way" is a pretty silly thing to say, but that seems to be an off-hand, casually made comment. None of this seems particularly egregious.

I'm looking for examples such as people actively promulgating Node adoption with ridiculous claims, people advising folks to use Node for specific tasks where it's completely unsuitable, people selling Node based technologies that aren't that good, people making the claim that Node is a silver bullet very publicly to a large audience, etc.
