I think that the frequency of posting has something to do with it as well. Just a few hours ago another story of his was front paged.
I didn't claim otherwise, and I appreciate your articles. My comment was about the fact that your articles, however insightful, appear often on the front page, sometimes more than once per day. This may rub some people the wrong way.
Is that really a much more insightful piece?
In my mind that's much more pandering to the HN crowd and has a lot less content.
Anyway, I think the worst you can say is that the guy is a little agressive with self-promotion.
