I almost stopped reading when I saw "by developers for developers" as a criticism, because he's talking about Stack Overflow, a website that is explicitly "for developers". Sure, that doesn't mean usability doesn't matter, or can't be improved, but it seems silly to start a diatribe like this without at least considering that maybe usability and aesthetics have different optima for developers than for a general audience. (To be fair, he does discuss developers as a demographic somewhere in the middle of the laundry list of 20 or so "initial concerns", in the context of the prominence of the banner ad.)
