It seems like he does not like programming in general:

> I've been programming for a very long time. So long that it's incredibly boring to me. [...] Programming as a profession is only moderately interesting. It can be a good job, but you could make about the same money and be happier running a fast food joint.

This is the biggest problem I have with any of Zed's content. To me it feels like he is saying "learning this stuff is fucking useless. Get a job running a KFC as programming sucks". I mean for God sake how patronising. If I want to learn something I don't need to be told it's pointless and to rub a fast food joint. I really dislike his attitude. Also I hate his "I can't be arsed to explain this bit as I'm bored of teaching you so Google for x y z and read about it yourself. "
It seems he doesn't like anything in general. Good resource, but the hardest thing about getting through LPTHW is reading it.
