You're mischaracterizing the content of that article. He's talking about programming tools that, for whatever reason, lead programmers to work in a particular fashion, getting caught up in "the rhythm of the machine" rather than in a way that is optimal for humans or will result in quality programs. He goes on to mention some tools that may be better in this regard, and finishes up with an anecdote about programming "naturally", as one might say, illustrating what programming apart from the tools mentioned above is like.
What strikes me, an IDE-free programmer, about it is that so many programmers are structuring their methods around these tools, apparently to the extent that natural, human programming is near-alien. So sad. I'd think all the toy-language fags in
/prog/ would pick up on the difference between his world and theirs.
Cry me a fucking io stream. If he doesn't like it, he needs to find another job.
Is it so hard to believe that he does, overall, enjoy his job, even though he feels that in some ways it could be better? Quit being such a fag and looking to find fault where there is none.
