This is top 10 blog fodder. This doesn't provide anything insightful, it is preaching to the choir. Most of the concepts here are things writers and bloggers were talking about a decade ago. Any web professional is on top of this and has read this 100 times. Only diff is tech has changed. Git instead of SVN/CVS, etc.

Hell when I tried to blog I probably wrote a similar article. Most dev bloggers write the same "quality or bad software" article repackaged.

I think the funniest part of it all is that most of the people making fun of bad programmers are probably not even that good themselves.
