I'm not getting offended; actually I'm mainly a PHP dev.

The sentence just sounds as if you paid $5 someone to write you an intro to a technical matter because you didn't know what to to use.

The sentence is general and without point. Because it is coming from a technical company and is aimed towards technical people, yes, I find it ridiculous.

Passionate language like that is used all over the industry, especially from start ups. So why is it a big deal if it's used to describe PHP?

If the Ruby on Rails blog made a post saying "Rubyists are makers at heart." would you complain?

Ha! Actually that would go on my nerves even more. I don't like that type of sugarcoating in general. There is a big difference between passionate language and fake passionate language. IMHO this is the latter case.

Last:

Heroku != blog of a random startup

Lead sentence != middle of post

I won't continue as this leads nowhere.
