I find your comment odd (in that I am confused by it). The top comment (which you seem to take issue with) isn't any more useful to anyone than the OP itself. I took it as a bit tounge-in-cheek. You state that professionals make decisions based on merit rather than personal preference and yet the OP did the exact opposite. So neither the OP nor top-commenter are taking the 'professional' approach here.
FWIW I agree with pretty much everything you said in your previous comment (although perhaps not the first sentence).
EDIT: Or perhaps his last sentence irritated you? If he'd omitted "Now, get back to writing code!" would you still feel the same?
I think we just interpreted the original comment differently. I didn't sense any humour in the point being made, only in the flippant final line, and I strongly disagreed with the basic point regardless of anything related that the original article did or didn't mention. If I misunderstood then the poster has my apologies.
