Maciej/IdleWords is a bit of a sacred monster around here. He loves to hate on the HN crowd, and he definitely has a dim opinion of the VC/get-rich-quick internet schemes that one could characterize the Valley for. He provides a great reality check for the kind of internet bullshit that flies around a lot.
He's featured here frequently:

On a lighter tone, I highly recommend his "Argentina on Two Steaks a Day" [1] and "The Alameda-Weehawken Burrito Tunnel" [2], each of which had me laughing harder than anything else in my life.

- qwertyuiop924 10y agoAh. That explains a lot. He's definitely well-spoken. And I don't mind people criticizing the VC crowd. I don't people criticizing stuff in general, so long as it's well done.
