I think you're missing that the website is satire. So the hyperbolic reductions it presents serve a comedic purpose. The site is supposed to make you laugh, not 100% accurately depict reality. What makes it good comedy is that triggers a cognitive dissonance by distilling frustrations with different software methodologies into ever-so-slightly absurd statements that almost represent reality, but not quite.

While not directly spoken to engineers' faces, there are absolutely people who think this way. And I know former coworkers who have worked in pair programming shops, so that part is actually factual. Innocence is bliss, though (;
