When you are asking questions like those on HN of all places there's a decent risk you picked the wrong hill to die on.

Avoid trying to get into a situation where people are just quoting their credentials at each other, playing a game of who will run out things to list first, being none the wiser once they're finally done a decade from now.

In case it wasn't meant the way I believe your comment was meant, you probably still shouldn't judge my comment by whatever I did in the past. If my personal experience was somehow relevant, I would have included references.
