Isn't the W silent? Whomer Simpson?

It is correct.
Whome is not a word.
Whom is, but is only used in restricted circumstances - either when the he/him rule applies, or when you are doing a Homer Simpson impression to attempt to sneak into a fancy strip club.

Does anyone else see this parody as far too close to truth for many of the QA posts?

Parody?
It's probably a quote...

Nah, doesnt sit right with me. "For those whom code"? Sounds like sh*t man.

Because "For those who spend entirely too many hours squinting at computer screens while doing back-flips to meet untenable demands" was too long.

As the sentence indicates that this relates to the subject of the verb, "for those who code" is correct. Try rearranging this to "they code" which sounds about right, as opposed to "them codes" which is what the implied plural form would suggest would be the replacement sentence, and just sounds plain wrong.

Who - should be used to refer to the subject of a sentence.
Whom - should be used to refer to the object of a verb or preposition.

No, it should "who", as it has always been.

If you can answer who/whom question with "he" then it's "who", if you can answer it with "him" then it's Whom":
Who wrote the code? He wrote the code.
By whom was the code written? It was written by him.

But it's a statement. The only quiestion I can get out of it is:
Who codes?
A1: he codes
A2: him
So you're saying that the question dictates the answer not the other way around? Ah I see. Ok. I'm fine with it now 😉

It's more a case of the question helping to arrive at the answer, although both are dependent on each other and in that sense interchangeable - having said that, it looks like you have understood that
