The reason I wrote that article in such a snarky style was to polarize people into deciding how they wanted to make a living. Personally I don't care whether people choose to be employees or otherwise... just that they make the choice consciously instead of having someone else decide for them (parents, society, etc).
That article still generates tons of feedback because it pushes people to form an opinion one way or another. It's also been very effective at giving dozens of fence sitters the final nudge they needed to start their own businesses. It generates a bit of ongoing negative feedback, but if it helps people take the plunge into going after their dreams, it's worth it.
