Satire. Come on people, I know it's early but this is hard to miss:

    Sure, you might get your precious “predictability”, 
    but at what cost? I mean, can you even still remember
    that rush of intrigue and anticipation you get when
    your application refuses to work on two of the twelve
    servers it was deployed to? The thrill of the hunt as
    you figure out exactly which configuration settings are
    different and, of those, which one is causing the
    problem? The sweet taste of relief that you get after
    hours upon hours of debugging finally narrowed it down
    to a rogue registry setting?

I think this was more telling:

> “I come from a long line of sysadmins. My father was a sysadmin, as was his father before him. I have apprenticed at the feet of some of the greatest sysadmins American BankCorp has ever seen.

The lineage would mean that they've been in the business for 30+ years now?

The heading on the page "geek humor and other drivel" was also something of a hint.
