> If you can deploy the same set up 10,000 times easily

If you had 10,000 web servers, are you telling me its difficult to create a script that will automatically pull files from a centralised network store?

In the above case, that's how I would set up and its trivial.

while I agree with some points, I think his experience is too skewed.

The general vibe I got was "oh we are all clueless, all programming efforts are bad". I think this is unfair over-generalisation. In my experience I have seen both sides of the coin.
