A lot of sterotyping buzzword dropping. Looks like someone scrapped hn comments and have summarized them into some analysis of where we are and going.
It reminds me of reading magazines about music (like rolling stones). Abusing adjectives limits in english peppered along with the surface level traveling common timeline points that when a number of words are hit they reach a premature conclusion and the reader is left wondering what they even read feeling less informed.
"They all now have cool laptop stickers, go to conferences, and are all legally required to wear nice glasses. (Guilty, guilty, and guilty, btw.)"

I saw "cool" developers in nice glasses hacking on sticker-encrusted laptops at conferences as a discrete subset back in 2007 or earlier. When was this written?
