To me, his posts can't be validated. His ideas aren't "grounded".

How many blogs do you read that have anonymous authors? Of those, how many do you consider authoritative in their field and which give advice? Of those, how many give advice truly informative and worth following?

Anonymous blogging is useful for hiding a source. Why trust anonymously-posted content, my own included?

You can waste a lot of time on the Internet reading what? - Unbeknownst SPAM? - Mental garbage? - The thoughts of institutionalized programmers? - Good advice from seasoned veterans? - funny stories from young developers?

The answer is "All the above."

Think for yourself. Know your sources. Seek provenance before accepting advice. Beware of Greeks (and Geeks) bearing gifts.
