  and maybe he was wrong. whats your point?

    I know this was referring to the parent, but just to add to this: I wouldn't trust Linus Torvalds, Bill Gates, Dennis Ritchie (may he rest in peace), or whoever else to assess whether or not someone has a place in the software industry - so the idea of a mid-level manager in a nameless tech department doing so is utterly ridiculous to me.

  I didn't say it was a he. Nonetheless, that would require this person to be an arbiter of the software industry. Given that you're on HN, and therefore very likely in the industry yourself, does the idea of someone you've never heard of deciding who does and doesn't belong doing this work sit well with you? If so, yikes.
