I recognize the good intention here, but if you're going to post this kind of comment, please try to eliminate the personal provocations. They don't help, and do hurt.

Which guideline do you believe I did not follow?
(I hope you write back face to face, because I would tell him the same thing in person and then some, and enjoy every microsecond of it.)

The comment was uncivil and snarky.
Regardless of your temperament, can you please not be abrasive/aggressive on HN? It encourages worse from others and leads to a toilet-whirlpool effect.

The person in question is one of the authors of "logdevice", which is relevant to that person's reaction: instead of saying "we didn't know about sbin, we'll fix that" it seems it was easier to just write a tractate trying to teach me, multiple decades older than them manners. What was aggressive?
Then, here's my two cents. When engaging in conversation and civil dialog, please try to avoid being so dismissive and so proud of yourself and of how much you think you know about stuff. You come across as abrasive and entitled. It's not nice to just jump into a conversation and talk trash about the work of others just because you dislike the operating system that they use.
Finally, if you really care, work on porting it to your operating system of choice and engage in civil conversation doing pull requests, etc. Everybody will be thankful for that.
