In this make believe scenario, the world is divided neatly into opposing camps of "competent devs" and "enterprise CRUD devs". It's dismissive, cheap analysis at its best. It's a straw man whose only real purpose is to embolden us with a smug sense of superiority.

It's also empirically correct.
I've worked for enterprise.
Also I didn't say it is divided "neatly". Why do people always assume that when you talk about a group of people being Y, all of them must be Y?
It's enough that the statistical majority of them be Y (e.g 90% of enterprise developers not really knowing about the wider world outside enterprise software practices). That there will be exceptions it's obvious -- there are exceptions everywhere.
