Exactly, the post is very clichéd. I have about 75% belief that it's fictional. I guess it could be sort of entertaining to see how easy it is to get a few hundred software engineers on reddit and hacker news worked up into a sympathetic and self-righteous frenzy with a simple and entirely fictional paragraph posted for free from a throwaway account.
I am about 101% it's fake. "Unfortunately apparently those values were actually for the production database (why they are documented in the dev setup guide i have no idea)" - yeah, no. Had you told me you were able to screw the production db up because it had no su password set, you might have got me. But this is bullshit.
