It's a bit of a strawman he sets up. (...) the work of another developer, a Microsoft MVP. The code (...) stunk in a strange way. (...) The MVP program does not recognize technical ability. It’s possible to be awarded an MVP in a development related area and not really be able to write code. (...) Mind you, there’s nothing wrong with doing any of those things and a lot of reasons why we should encourage the behavior. (...) there isn’t really a problem with the MVP program. (...) There’s really no reason for Microsoft to change things on their end. In the end, it's a warning that holders of a recognition that doesn't have anything to do with programming, might not be good programmers.
