Probably the most entertaining thing about the article (aside from the article itself) is seeing a comment section full of Americans who have precisely zero understanding of Australian humour or writing style.

As a former-PhD-Data-Scientist-who-quit-the-industry-because-it-was-full-of-fraud-and-went-back-into-software-engineering-and-is-now-an-Australian-consulting-to-Americans, this is even more hurty. Someone sent this to me and I thought I'd dreamposted it.

Great article, the anecdotes physically pain me in the same way that watching Utopia does.

Similarly, as a Brit, the tone and humour is not unusual at all. Feels like someone blowing off steam down the pub with their mates.

It is totally lost on many here, some of whom equivocate the rant with serious threats of violence.

Personally I found it very funny and an accurate portayal of industry trends

It's mainly midwest Americans that like to tone police. People from the east coast, especially northern east coast, read this as comfort literature.
