The article has some points here and there, but the personal attack on pg was a bit of sensationalism, without which it would have been HN-worthy.

There's always a market (here, an audience) for personal attacks on the wealthy and successful. It comes with the territory.

For his part, pg is leading by example -- laughing all the way to the bank.

Can you elaborate on your last point? The only way I can see pg "laughing all the way to the bank" is through YCombinator where he has to work and commit time to develop startups. He makes no money (afaik) from HN or his articles, except where this boosts his reputation for YC and increases book sales.
