The IPhone itself is somewhat like this "I am rich app"-app.

You could get the same or higher value for less money by buying a Samsung f.x.

he worked in a prison you funny person ... what qualifies him to found tech company? right - nothing!

and spaghetti code that turns useful requires even more experience to maintain.

how do you know?

How about working as an employed programmer first - learn from colleagues - and then after three years reconsider founding a company.

I mean sorry, but if you worked so far as a jail guard then you probably don't have enough experience for you ambitious dreams yet.

Honestly though ... this text seems so generical and naive that I have trouble believing its authenticity ...

I guess if you follow those nine rules for a year - your head will clear up that much - you will realize how pointless this carrot-in-front-of-donkey-style-career-rat-race is and get off!

switch jobs after 12 months and take 6 months off (or rather "on" as I would say)

90% of the population aren't on HN.

That's why ETFs and index funds, which simply match a market or index passively, are the real deal.

There are more than 38k plug ins available (https://en.wordpress.org/plugins/). And also from what I have seen so far - there is no extensive (if any) reviewing done regarding safety and quality.

WordPress plug ins are - as far as I know - not reviewed. You're at the mercy of the respective developer.

and that's why your suggestion of missing shell involvement is not that much of a great point in this context of Wordpress

Where precisely within the workflow of blogging do you think the kind of programmer you describe would appreciate using a terminal?

With respect to a software like Wordpress which is:

- huge and powerful

- vividly maintained and extended by lots of developers

- rarely features security issues which aren't fixed immediately

... the question arises whether the quality of its code base is in this case maybe rather an academic issue.

- I do use my console on a daily basis (fish bash)

- I am a programmer (at least that's part of what I do)

- My blog is 50% about programming

Still - I don't see any reason why I would want to spend even a minute longer on the layout or some backend processes.

And I even less understand why anybody using a blog would want to or even need to use a terminal for that purpose ...

It's easy, safe, cheap and humane to suffocate a delinquent with Nitrogen.

Those features are also obvious - so of course there are people in charge how do want the condemned man to suffer while dying.
