My favorite part of this article is the hypocrisy. It's a huge rant about how stupid an unattractive people are if they buy into the new hot thing from Silicon Valley that doesn't do anything new; and then there it is, on line 2 of the page: "This is an automated feed of the blog posts at http://fredrikdeboer.com" http://fredrikdeboer.com".
It seems like he forgot one line item in his list:
