I think this is written by someone who clearly does not participate in any Open Source software development communities.

There are many of us who feel strongly about preserving the principles of free-as-in-freedom software and the principles of Open Source software. We hold one another's feet to the fire despite some commercial preferences.

The quality level of the work is top notch. I consider myself very fortunate that I get to work with some of the best software developers in the world.

> The idea that prospective employers will look at open source contributions to evaluate job applicants is now, thankfully, understood as pernicious.

Ad populum - please back up this claim.
