I think the link you're referring to is:
http://uswaretech.com/blog/2009/08/a-response-to-dropping-django/
(from Hacker News).

The link you cited is a job opening for an enterprise system in Java,
which seems to have no relationship to the topic.

BTW, I had never heard of Hacker News until now, which gets into a point below.

I think many people here are focused on using Pylons and don't have
time to hang out on these multi-framework, multi-language forums.
Perhaps if I did I'd know who Seth Godin and Tim Ferriss are.  I agree
that public relations/evangelism is valuable, but it takes a certain
kind of motivation that only some people have.
