There are a million other ways to express your opinion without ad hominem insults.

Learn how to communicate and chill, no one forced you to read the blog post, and you could just have ignored it.

When you come at people with the attitude the author has, you should expect it right back at you. That is why anyone who knows how to give a proper talk or write a professional paper does not do that. Leave it to popular culture sites to treat people like that, it should have no place in professional presentations.

The attitude being: a clickbait title immediately dismissed as "an opinion" -->

  An opinionated approach to writing (GNU) Makefiles that I learned [..]

  Use the above as guidelines, not dogma

But maybe you haven't read the article and was just offended by the title. Still not a good reason to insult people like you did. The author of the article never insulted anyone.

> it should have no place in professional presentations

Good thing then that this article is posted on a personal website. It's not even the author of the article who posted the link on HN.

Still not an excuse to insult people.
