It's clear, but it's not immediately clear. You have to read a substantial amount of the article before it becomes clear, because the author starts with very little indication of it satirical. I found myself starting from the premise that it was in earnest and only realized it was satirical about 1/3 of the way through. Until that point I had a mental checklist of things I disagreed with, beginning with the phrase "expected amount of embedded abstractions".
Come to think of it, it's really an excellent example of effective satire, and these comments are an illustration of Poe's Law.
