An inflated and grandiose view of yourself and your actions is classic bipolar II during bouts of mania, I skimmed the article a bit and immediately got those vibes. Particularly in how long and rambling the content is, it strikes me as something written all at once, without any real review.

(I grew up around a bipolar II individual. I am not an expert.)

I'm shocked that you're the only one pointing this out. This is clearly a manic episode. You can tell this was written in one go. Some users have pointed out the authors absolutely absurd resume.

And despite the fact that this article is filled with absolutely wild claims and martyr-laden tangents, the response here on HN proves that passion is worth more than substance in the tech world. Which explains a lot.

it did hit a nerve here though, ~1000 comments. I couldn't finish it due to rambling style but i do find some insightful comment threads here.

My guess it's the perfect HN bait. Starts with a meaningful factoid. Makes grand unhinged claims. Then starts rambling about everything under the sun.

If you had a preconceived topic you care about: this blog post gives you every imaginable opening. Free of any substance which might define a direction for discussion.

I think this topic is on a lot of peoples' minds, and it would be nice to get a discussion thread going about it with a quality article at the focal point instead of this completely uninformed one.
