Personal attacks will get you banned here, and so will posting shallow dismissals of other people's work.

If you'd review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and recalibrate how you're posting to this site, we'd appreciate it.

Unfortunately, you can't apply the "garbage" filter a priori. You have to make a guess, follow it or don't, and learn later how good your guess was.

Hi Mr Joel Gross. Author of the post here.

You’ve mistaken dismissal for discernment. If you’d like to be useful rather than merely snide, quote the bit you object to and tell me what you think is wrong with it – I welcome critique.

Also, I note your blog has multiple advice pages. For example: https://joelx.com/joels-personal-philosophy/

I admire your commitment to self-refutation.

Save yourself an hour, don't scroll through the rest of their HN comments either. It's a wild ride, they earned a spot in my OPML collection of curious characters.
