I got this same feeling while reading it, that the author strung together thousands of words to illustrate two strange points: that what Joel and Jeff have done is different from the existing model and thus, might not work and that Joel is past his prime even though he was once really good.
Are those two points really worth thousands of words, whether they are true or not? It doesn't seem like it to me. I wish that at least 500 of the words would have been used to introduce me to something new that the OP thought was better than StackOverflow/Careers.
Of course, the irony is, here I sit writing a comment about an article while producing nothing. I think I'll go write some code.
