I agree with your sentiment, and although I generally agree with the parent, I also disagree with the statement that "[t]hey where hired under the same standards as you". Few companies look for programming talent and I've seen this being hand waved away by statements like: "good programmers don't necessarily make good employees". But on the whole, the article also leaves a sour taste in my mouth due to the superiority complex that cuts through it. Good programmers won't effect much change at companies that have broken hiring practices. Rather move somewhere where your skills will be appreciated.
