I don't understand -- you had a bad reaction to a single line in the introductory paragraph and knowingly let this turn you off to the entire post? Is that a valuable type of filter for you?
- balls187 11y agoSeems like you understand just fine. Time is valuable. When writing an essay, the introductory paragraph is how the author gets the reader involved in it. That line reads to me like bitterness, so I concluded that it wasn't worth my time to read any further. And this being the internet, I felt it was worth my time to post a comment saying how I feel. It wasn't my intent to post a comment about the other points in the article (which I obviously did not read).
- freyr 11y agoIt's a bad way to respond to an argument, because it subtly undermines everyone who is critical of Silicon Valley. They either don't build things (and they're unqualified to have an opinion) or they do build things (but they're being brushed aside because they're a minority).
