I think the author got it wrong with the last sentence. The restaurant would be full with people that believe the complexity of said turd is proof of the craftsmanship of that developer and hence he is an Expert(TM). It doesn't matter that the turd adds ZERO to the project (in fact it makes it worse since turd is turd) they all need to feel they belong somewhere and in this case the majestic turd brought them together. Hence the turd is good. This should be a question when you go to an interview for a company: "Do you like turd here? Do you worship the dark lord turd?" If the answer is yes then you definitely don't want to work there.
