Oh,it gets worse:

http://www.alexstjohn.com/WP/2016/04/17/wage-slaves/ - he doubles down.

http://www.alexstjohn.com/WP/2016/04/18/recruiting-giants-2/ - He triples down.

http://www.alexstjohn.com/WP/2016/04/21/i-apologize/ - he makes sure he insults EVERYONE he can think of.

Personally, I really enjoyed the read - it is very different to my personal experience, and fascinating to me.

It is scary stuff, but I'm not really sure what I disagree with - or more accurately CAN disagree with. By that I mean that I have (would?) never work as a games dev, I have no frame of reference for how hard they work, so how can I really criticise anyone that has actually done it based on my very different experience? For all I know, it really does require the sorts of herculean effort he describes, and while it is as bad as he claims, maybe, just maybe, that is the only way to make games dev possible?
