Just as proof of my sincerity - I re-read the article/blog to debug my interpretation.
The problem was I didn't read the last 2 sections, of which he clearly talks about what he learned. Thus I scientifically conclude this is not some weird hipster-ish ironic post of which maybe I'm the only one in the world who misread it that way.
Maybe one day someone can make a machine learning based hipster irony or post irony detection browser plugin so I don't have to think about it.
