I think if you take away the f words, all he is really doing is describing the startup culture, company he works in, nothing more. Albeit in a weird humorous way, maybe to get quick popularity on medium or raise up the coolness factor? In the end he pretty much sums it up as, thank you for making me one of you, just worded differently. Some people just like attention..

That very last line of the article confused me because throughout the article I thought it was a critique of the startup world, but then his message became mixed up. Was he showing self-awareness, or was this whole thing just a tongue-in-cheek fistbump to the startup world? Maybe that's the point. No idea but it took away quite a bit of the value for me.
Yeah, the article was never constructive but before that last line it was at least punk: pissed off and doesn't owe you a thorough explanation. But that line really drives home how little was said.
