Like many conditions depression expresses it self in diverse ways. It certainly is not the same for everyone. Furthermore, you should avoid diagnosing the severity of psychological conditions by reading their blog posts.

I couldn't read the blog post.

I was summarising my own experience (20 years and counting), that of people I have observed with diagnoses of depression, and my reading in the subject.

I don't think your observation is off in general. But applied to a particular person to judge their condition it is not helpful. More so when we don't know circumstances of the depressed developer.
