Agreed. After reading this piece I can safely say the writer is somebody I would never want to work for. I can only hope this level of antagonism never flies in tech.
I don't like countering "if you do X I will not hire you" with "well, if you do Y I will never work for you." It seems we are all desperate for some way of controlling the sucky job market and so we resort to threats like this.
That said, this guy is exactly why I've worked to excise all references to PHP development from my resume. The employers in PHP development world seem top-heavy with clowns. I once got rejected because a potential employer wanted someone "really strong" in PHP and I wasn't "really strong" because at my then-current job only 50% of my development work was in PHP, the rest being in C and Ruby. Boy did I dodge a bullet with that one.
