While I highly respect antirez, I think this post is full of good sounding, short statements, that wouldn't hold in a discussion.
One example: Newbies shouldn't reinvent the wheel. I think they should use the tools, that are available and common in the given context. When they want to tinker, they should write their own compiler. But they shouldn't use that in production.
Another: Backward API compatibility is a business decision in most cases.
Also, I think it doesn't help to start every sentence with "We are destroying software". This sounds much more gloomy, than it really is.
