You can respect the work useful work of a person without valuing their attempts at blogging themselves into an authority.
It is also worth noticing the article is from over a year and a half before RethinkDB shut down.
It's totally fair for you to criticize the content of the post, and even correlate that to the author's failed startup. But don't be so fucking smug about it.
This is a community that celebrates making things people want, and I'll be damned if RethinkDB didn't succeed on that front. I think Slava & co deserve respect for that, even as we learn from whatever business mistakes occurred.
