The thesis is that because this person ran across a few glitches in a small subset of systems "programmers" have all given up. It continues to then re-count some bad interactions with customer service types and an anonymous Twitter user.
Seriously? That's it?
And this leads him to believe programmers everywhere have quit caring?
How does this even hold up? You realize it's not necessarily a programmer at many a institution prioritizing work. You realize that the power company customer service person probably will have zero clue what the issue is?
This is poorly thought out blog spam.
I expect the other 95% of the time, shit works just fine. But blog posts about everything working just fine don't generate hits.
