Well, since CS due to good wages has attracted the hipsters that confuses their IQ with the price of their gadget, and that are in average better at communicating (with their so hype websites) than the average hectic programmers, you may want to filter them out, and make fun of them.
These self called geeks and gurus are best avoided in projects. I guess the hacked by China joke is like a filter.
Real programmers do it for fun. And they not only do it in few words, they also do it with 'finger'.
I guess, they are just doing a cultural handshake they try to filter out the morons by sending irrelevant information on one hand (the official website), and another one on the other hand (the doc is concise and clear).
For me it is a new divide in programming community: the infatuated hipsters self called geeks vs the mocking nerds.
For me it is the sense of the zed shaw's rant on rails, and of the readme and sites of javelin.
PS : I belong to the mocking nerds.
