I don’t think that is a general assumption. Particularly when the generality is made not as a statement of fact but of opinion and in a disparaging manner.

  Are you telling me when somebody says "Programmers make the web", you can't infer from context that they're not talking about all programmers?

    Of course but that is a substantially different statement than “I automatically assume JavaScript developers to be completely oblivious to this entire class of software development knowledge.“ Programmers make the web is a true statement of fact it’s just that it’s a subset of programmers that do it. The OPs statement is a lazy opinion about JavaScript developers in general unambiguously applied. So I welcome their later amendement.
