Right? And then you look at the profile picture and he's like 19.

From what I can tell he worked hard, switched careers, and is still super high from his accomplishments and wishes to share that which he learned from his journey.
I was like this when I got my first engineering job out of college. It's hard to be modest and understanding when you first climb up the ivory tower after much hard work.

If the advice is good, then why shouldn't he present it confidently? Wouldn't you take it less seriously if he had a disclaimer of "i have no idea wtf i'm talking about but here are some thoughts"?

This is overly confident and gives off "I am right, and I don't need to back it up" type of vibe imo.
> "i have no idea wtf i'm talking about but here are some thoughts"
I think there is a middle ground between this and overly confident that is best for advice giving. From my experience those with the most confidence while giving advice tend to be least open minded about altering their opinion upon being questioned. Which in turn leads to bad advice.
He seems a little egotistical for my liking. Writes as if he is "all knowing", and people are constantly badgering him for his wisdom, so he finally decided to give some. Us plebeian should be grateful.
That being said, his advice seems pretty damn good, and I plan to pass it on to some people who are burning out and/or looking to switch career paths.
