Very well put. I see so many posts here that I roll my eyes over. This is not to put them down, may be it has to do with the fact that we as programmers don't talk about our "feelings" :)
I'm glad you liked the comment :), but I do think it is good that he has shared his feelings. Whatever you can do to gain new perspectives and grow should be done. My hope is that after writing this article that he reads through all these comments and realizes his future is much brighter than he currently believes it to be. And that all the frustrations that he is experiencing are temporary and will quite quickly go away.
