Please don’t make baseless ad hominem attacks.

It wouldn’t matter if you were accurate, it would still be rude and inappropriate, but note that tptacek is about the last person in the world I would describe as having had an underwhelming career working on boring projects (although I’m sure he’s done his share of those, too), so you got your facts wrong on top of everything.

That makes it worse: if he's had a fascinating career (and sees it that way), but says that 99% of CS work is "just writing form fields" as he puts it then he's looking down on everyone else. I hope we can have more respect for each other in this industry.
