I have never commented on an entry on news sites before, and that is the 100% truth. I felt compelled enough to do so now.

That blog entry is the largest load of arrogant, self-indulgent crap I have ever seen coalesced into one place. Either he is doing a piss-poor tribute to the "Bastard Operator from Hell" writings that were common a few years ago.. or he is genuine and the epitome of people I strive to avoid in this industry.

One of the things I like about the web space is that, by and large, I don't have to deal with people like him. They're usually trapped in the lower levels of firmware, device drivers, and OS kernels by choice, because they've hit a sweet spot, built fortresses and refuse to retrain themselves.

the lower levels? He's not arguing for coding in assembly, but Lisp - THE high level language. Unfortunately it takes some (myself included) several years to realize that.
