I wrote the blog post, and I want to honor your response. Completely understandable. And sympathetic! I don't doubt your experience. Much as I might prefer to try.

I'm glad to see you've already got support and some tips here on HN. I'd be happy to give a bit of my time, as well. If you'd like to share some details privately, I'm [email protected].

I no longer work day by day as a programmer, but I'm very much still in the industry, and I stay connected in the field.
