You aren't addressing programmers who want to know why their side projects and startup ideas are never getting off the ground. "Maybe it's because you're playing too many video games" would be a reasonable thing to say to that audience.

You are instead addressing any and all programmers, and are assuming they all want what you want. I hope you realize how off-putting this is to the people who are just fine with working in a "safe" job and chipping away at their 401k and playing with their kids/TVs/Xbox for 15 hours a week.

He starts by chastising all developers, coders, and programmers that aren't into the idea of being entrepreneurs.

The thesis of the article is basically:

1. You're wrong to be happy with your non-entreprenuereal career

2. You're wrong if you aren't trying really hard to become an entrepreneur

This is a very dickish piece.
