Of course it is easy to criticize an industry with no qualifying criteria for its so-called professionals, but the website is good for a few laughs.

Also, it's nice to see that he doesn't use it for blatant self-promotion so prevalent in such sites.

This man speaks like the programmer he is. There's no argument here against anything besides his two thin points: 1) that he's tired of being told what to do by design/UI guys, and 2) Jakob Nielsen is running out of steam, which is, as the author admits, irrelevant.

I would link to this site on my own blog as a humor piece--I chuckled, for a minute--but I don't want to give it the exposure.
