I didn't down vote you, but I can see why the comment is downvoted. Its condescending and doesn't offer any actionable advice compared to the article it is commenting on. Even teams that are building "run of the mill CRUD apps" need to be expert on the specific context and needs of their run of the mill CRUD app. If it truly is generic then it doesn't need to be built (and thus doesn't need to be tested or discussed on HN). Also anecdotally, in my career, while I've seen lots of CRUD apps they haven't been the focus, the challenge, or the money maker for any of the businesses I've worked with/for. So I'll buy that 90% of companies don't need this advice because 90% (or more) of companies don't do software development at all. But for the ones that do, saying that 90% of them don't have specific needs rings hallow.
