I join you in these sentiments - born-n-bred on the farm, still there, and hacking software since 1981!
My most regular outburst of swearing is about 'dev-ops' and lack of engineering discipline and occurs almost daily :)

I'm saying this because I'm raised on a farm, I was always proud of it, I still do it as a hobby (and I love my crops) and I never, ever considered it an insult when I heard a term "farmer" or "peasant".
Nowadays, I read about people being offended in my stead, giving themselves the right to insult other people, like author of microwebsockets.
Is there a world in which haters could hate without using excuses such as "it insults farmers"?
I'm one of the farmers, I am not insulted, I do have the right to say this and point the attention at the *real* problem - and it's fake developers.
