To be honest, most of his blog posts seem to be inflammatory in nature with a cute picture at the top. I wouldn't be surprised if Ted wrote it merely to get blog views.

I put Ted squarely in the category of "contrarian" rather than troll. I think it's important to have people calling out the Emperor for having no clothes, even if the Emperor is wearing clothes. It makes for debate, which in turn makes for reasoned decision making.

He's abrasive, true, but often has a point. See e.g. "The Blocking Consumer" part in "The Case Against Queues" (http://teddziuba.com/2011/02/the-case-against-queues.html) and "Stupid Unix Tricks: Workflow Control with GNU Make" (http://teddziuba.com/2011/02/stupid-unix-tricks-workflow-con...).

That's how it came across to me as well after I looked through the rest of his blog.
