One thing that struck me: his career seems totally optimized for the "custom business app, database-backed CRUDscreen" programmer.
I think that's the problem. ORM and generics are very specific things to me, not something I'd see as a long-term lesson to keep in mind. His programming experience seems very .NET/Visual Studio-centric. Programming in other paradigms might make his point about eg. unit tests more mitigated.
