I can't tell if this is ironic, or if the scene has been so watered down by hipsters that knowing C is like being a magician? I mean, having worked with people like this (outside of the crude stereotypes), these people aren't that hard to find. The addendum makes me think it's more about valuing real experience with timeless technology over fads, which I guess I agree with, but I find the point of the article to be a bit opaque.
