I'm not seeing how the tweet is mocking the Pony developers. It seems to mirror the tone and the content of of the documentation in the screenshot. It looks like an absurdist spin on the ivory tower vs industry meme, and it doesn't make anyone the butt of the joke.

The screenshot in question cut off the explaination of why. I'm one of the Pony developers and I took it to be mocking.

Thanks for replying! I took a look at the thread in question and you're totally right. In context, this is unambiguously snide. I've been fortunate that my learning and working environments have been absolutely free of this kind of mean-spirited nonsense, so it really took me by surprise.
