I completely agree. I wouldn't go as far as the blogger to call it "trash", though. I think there is still value in that piece, and an appreciative sentiment to be shared. But there is no doubt that there is not the level of intellectualism for HN's supposed standard. There are routinely non-entrepreneurship articles that get attention on HN, but generally they are at least scientific/academic or relate to business.

EDIT: And now the OP got deleted. Anyone have an explanation?
