i got a similar impression, although i thought of it rather than being "anti-old-school" as less flattering "naive oss/linux mentality".... and a bunch of thoughts cursing how much this hurts progress. the mention of specific ages and the tone of it was way off the mark... the arguments don't really hold much weight either - frustrations rather than roadblocks. even after reading the article, which i expected to find interestingly informative... and did... i'm not sure there is any sense to be found in the rationale beyond the developer wanting an easier life. thats never a great line to follow in software development imo... its pretty much the opposite of the whole intent.
