You. You wrote the article, posted it on your blog, used your HN account to submit it here, and it is you that is posting a comment in support of yourself. Writing in a way that implies you aren't the author is disingenuous.
- czep 10y agoI wrote the piece, yes, but I didn't submit it to HN. Get your facts straight. I'm not interested in self promotion. I'm only commenting here to address some misleading interpretations of my original intent. I wrote this 5 years ago, someone else posted it to HN today. It's Sunday morning so I have some time. Calling me disingenuous is not fair. My 3rd person reference calling out the parent's use of arrogant and verbose to refer to me, was firmly tongue in cheek. I do have a sense of humor, despite my flowery rhetoric and dog-eared thesaurus :)
