Not a response to the actual ideas presented, but I felt this to be one of the most well constructed 'discussion of non-technical problem directed at technical people' pieces that I've read in a long while. I loved how well the intro of a technical interview question lead into a discussion of a very human problem. I didn't know much of Coda before now but I suppose he can count me among the people glad to see him writing again. As for the ideas themselves, I find it harder to respond. I've never been on the receiving end of 'Twitter scale' attention but I've always assumed that it was basically an emotional net negative for those who are. Even if the vast majority of said attention were positive, I feel like it would be hard to ignore the background noise generated by those who have found the most effective method to get attention is to cause distress for others.
