To those complaining about the tone of this rant:

It's Maddox. He's eFamous for exactly these kinds of rants. It's kind of like calling David Thorne an asshole: Well, yeah. No shit.

thebestpageintheuniverse.net has been around for eons in Internet time. If you're not a fan, don't go there.

I think you're preaching to the choir on HN. That said, I do know a few people who could stand to read this little rant....

Stopped reading the instant I saw it was white on black with font size larger than normal.

White on black? Larger than normal font? Good god, you fooled certain death there by not reading further...

> If you don't know how to chop up a few carrots to make a decent soup, take your life.

Stopped reading at that line. I would like to ask the author the same; if you can't write a rant without idiotic statements as the above, take your own advice.

Thank you.

Yeah, the only difference is you're not funny.
