If this is a jab to supposedly mediocre programmers, it fails to be funny.
I have a friend, let's call him AP, who is a programmer in a local java shop. He's been working in the same place for 12 years since he graduated. He kind of fits the description on this article, but he is one of the happiest people I know.
He gets paid above average wage, and his work is easy and not very demanding. He knows the codebase inside out, and gets along well with his colleagues. Outside work he goes out cycling or for a beer with his friends or travels the world with his wife.
Different people have different priorities, and some are not obsessed with excelling at work.
