Group cohesion often benefits from choosing a nemesis and creating a straw boogeyman--a rallying cry for the group to fight against. Rubyists hate Java with all of its J2EE and XML configuration (never mind that Rails is at least as complicated, and Java moved on a long time ago). Certain religious groups hate gay people, with their immoral acts in the streets and the corrupting of the young (I hope I don't have to explain why this is BS). And startup people have their boogeyman: the clueless MBA asshole stereotype. Learn to see beyond this. There is always some fragment of truth in stereotypes, but it's more useful to understand why these articles are written.
