From the article (1996):

And it’s the dominant image of the software development world: Gen-Xers sporting T-shirts and distracted looks, squeezing too much heroic code writing into too little time; rollerblades and mountain bikes tucked in corners; pizza boxes and Starbucks cups discarded in conference rooms; dueling tunes from Smashing Pumpkins, Alanis Morrisette and the Fugees. Its the world made famous, romantic, even inevitable by stories out of Sun Microsystems, Microsoft, and Netscape.

It's incredible how much software development has changed over the last 21 years. Change Gen-Xers to Millennials, update the playlist, and replace Sun Microsystems, Microsoft, and Netscape with Apple, Facebook and Google.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not in your second paragraph. :-)
