Don't take it the wrong way, I was only skewering it because I thought it kind of erased 'bored therefore angry (or depressive)' developers and because I think 'work is often dull but the people that do it should still be respected.'

I thought it was a kind of understanding which attempts to contain everybody within a single category and then to belittle them.

Absolutely no problem. I try at all times to take the best interpretation of people's comments. I can see your POV.
