If you are a coder and your CEO says something like this, you should call his bluff and put in your notice immediately. I bet he will care then.

Rather than the outrage-bait this was turned into, the quote was entirely about who their customers are. And it makes perfect sense. What kind of a professional programmer would use these their tools anyway?
