Dude. You need to get some perspective on this.
People are not going to buy a Tessel to build a production-grade hardware project. It is for hobbyists.

If anything, you would think that you'd be overjoyed. People would hypothetically try to create products with these "child's toys" and give people like you a more robust job market and salary prospects. Or they wouldn't and it doesn't affect you at all.
I agree with the facts and premise he presents. A Tessel is a toy. It is not going to teach you C, Assembly, or any of the realities of hardware development.
I disagree with the premise that this is a bad thing. I disagree with the premise that people are buying Tessels with the intent to create production grade products. This is literally a toy for people who want to screw around with hardware. This is not a bad thing.
Would you give people shit for buying some Lego Mindstorms to do the same thing instead of a Tessel?
