I think the author is just another oh so popular mainframe evangelist as he's stated. He could have easily made the same case for any properly managed distributed system. Where I disagree with him is that I don't think right out of college professionals should be working in a mainframe environment. As a person who has spent the past 3.5 years (right out of college) working in mainframe capacity planning and performance, I think mainframe technology can be pretty niche and I very nervously wonder if my very specific mainframe systems engineering experience will translate anywhere else. I feel as though getting a new tech professional started in their career would be better in an environment that is popular and they are familiar with, and then working from there.
