I agree.

While it's amusing, it's not the type of content I expect to see at the top of the list at this site.

I wonder if it's not an outsourced Oracle employee who is not even aware of what company he works for.

Wow, downvoted again. I guess nobody found this link funny.

In the future I'll try to stick to articles about Paul Graham ;)
