He may have better understanding of people who make software. His understanding of gays doesnt have a problem, his perception of gays has. According to his twisted value system they are bad people. However his understanding of software people is not clouded by his values.
In any case I am only trying to defend him because I saw people just read his name from article title and decided they should not read it full.
So please go ahead read what he has to say, then decide if he is correct or not instead of judging article beforehand. My 2 cents.

There is no such thing as "software people". Just as there is no such thing "farmer people", "construction people", or "aeroplane people". They are all just people. And I don't understand your understanding/perception distinction.
"So please go ahead read what he has to say, then decide if he is correct or not instead of judging article beforehand."
My comment was posted over ninety minutes after reading the article. I really don't know on what basis you assumed otherwise.
And I'm away to fight the android emulator now.
I do agree that we shouldn't ignore everything he says because of this. He might still have something useful to say about things that don't involve people. Trees, for example.
