It might be that I live on the other side of the world to the author but this hasn't really been a problem for me. I've been a developer for 10 years or so and find that in Brazilian jiu jitsu there's a pretty even split between university/not-university educated people resulting in a social circle that is pretty diverse, at least from a formal education point of view. In my case the city is somewhat expensive to live in so most of the people that can afford hobbies in this area will earn a similar income and have similar schedules. The article also felt like there was a weird bit of class focus and as other commenters have said the author needs to expand their thoughts on what sports are available and the lives other "non-tech" people live.
