If I recall correctly, the author of the article linked here apologized for its tone and removed it from his blog. It seems a bit of a disservice to repost it here without mentioning that context.
I googled for a bit, but couldn't find an apology from this author. I do remember a different author writing a similar post, followed by an apology and removal though. I don't think it's the same author.
(edit: here's the apology we were thinking of http://schacon.github.io/bitbucket.html)
