- Confusion 17y agoMany people can appreciate any genius. They can't appreciate incoherent rants that wander from technical points to politics to cultural criticism to analogies doomed to distract any reader from the technical points. You will be recognized as a genius when you make insightful arguments others can follow and which teach them something; not when you require them to wade through a pile of irrelevant drivel, as if it was a high school exercise in summarising. Erik doesn't even make arguments. He just states things, like Remove the syntactic mess that is attributes. (You will then find that you do not need them at all.) Yeah, that's a really solid argument, that immediately convinced me that seperating syntactically between metadata elements and child data elements is not necessary...
