I'm not quite sure why there are so many negative responses to this, the tone is rather direct and harsh (the author admits this was intentional below), but the general sentiment seems spot on.
The target audience for the OP is people who have leverage in a Job interview situation, people who have experience and who have a number of options to pick from (ie. Any decent developer with a project or 2 of successful practical experience under their belt).
The parent is simply saying, that before you blindly follow the OP's advice, make sure that you are definitely in the category of people who have the luxury of doing so.
You can see by the vitriol in the responses that I've hit a nerve - people know what I'm saying to be true, they just hate that it is so, and they hate me for pointing out that it is so, and being unapologetic about it at that.
Such is life. I'm less concerned about what names people call me than who is doing the name calling. Random people on the internet obviously don't know me well enough to matter, really.
