My response was less than civil, yes. Your bringing Steve Jobs' "Always stay hungry" into it struck me as exceptionally shallow and myopic and since I happen to be a big fan of Kafka's work, more bile went into my response than would have been proper, I guess.
The comment you've posted since (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1124805 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1124805) seems a lot more sensible. So it appears I have misjudged you, though, reading it over again, I'm still not convinced that I did that with your original comment itself.
- nonrecursive 17y agoYeah I did see that in your comment - "wow this guy really likes Kafka, that's awesome." :) In my original comment I should have written something like "It's interesting to compare what jsomers wrote / Steve Jobs said to what Kafka has written, though for now I'm reserving my opinion." I remember reading something along the lines of, "people rarely understand each other, and when they do it's usually by accident." Anyway, I'm sorry I wasn't clearer originally.
