This is fantastic feedback Ambrose, thank you :) Your responses are a much more appropriate and thoughtful way of explaining what I was discussing. I was definitely trying to be more tongue in cheek because I wanted to make the writing interesting to read. Manipulative and controlling is not how I interact in practice. Keep in mind too that a lot of my experience has been at places where the devs are not as you describe though. I look forward to the day when I can work with more mature developers as you've described them, I know they exist. I think the caliber of developer has a lot to do with location.
I meant this article to be somewhat sensationalized, if I were to make it more appropriate for an academic journal I would definitely take out all the generalizing and wrongheadedness as you pointed out. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
