Honestly there is some truth, but if you want to be a programmer(not a coder) no company, no person can stop you. I agree that companies like TCS etc. get mainly maintenance work but nobody is forcing you to stay there only, if you don't love a job, don't do that job..
I also enjoy using G+. and as the writer said that he wanted it to get off his chest, that's what he did. so no problem...keep writing.. People will do what they want to do...
