I don't really think this article warrants a serious conversion. He leads with "I’m not endorsing either side", then proceeds to denumerate every wrong that SO regulars have inflicted on poor, benign newbies, and intersperses it with quotes with hard-working, incipient programmers ( who are, naturally, all from Reddit) who've been abused by oppressed by this ill-tempered cadre of SO devs. Many of them decide to quit the dream they're working so hard at because an experienced developer didn't debug their while loop. Naturally, he's peddling a book that teaches you how to install a text editor and run hello world. The only travesty here is that he's getting from free publicity for this troll-bait.
