It's a blog post, not an article. A narrative of events, not an interesting write-up on a topic.

Vital clarification in this context, thank you so much

Not the first time either. See this person's previous blog when leaving his earlier company. Lots of Kim kardashian vibe of self inflated self worth.

The guy is pretty much god-tier in performance engineering -- I'm not seeing the kardashian vibe at all. There's an element of "dear diary" but it reads (to me) as just trying to catalog what he thinks is important to note.

Brendan known to be an exact opposite person by the way.

A quite funny post from his blog on this topic: https://www.brendangregg.com/blog/2021-06-04/an-unbelievable...

“Known to be” then proceed to write the exact opposite type of article on his personal blog. Maybe he wants to be recognized another way
