OP also called Brendan Gregg a "god" in the same post. So Brendan is a "god" but Julia is just distilling other peoples' work? Sounds pretty disrespectful to me.
- ddacunha 9y ago> simplify other people's hard work I don't mean to pull the argument one way or another one. But, IMO simplifying other people's hard work is hard work too. At least I personally find it to be. Depending on our experience we can understand OP as being respectful (or not). I would like to give her/him the benefit of the doubt.
- bogomipz 9y ago>"Saying you respect someone is meaningless if immediately followed up by a suggestion that they're just simplifying other peoples' "real work" Why are respectful and critical mutually exclusive? Do you believe that one negates the other?
- leshow 9y agoIt seemed to me he was recognizing her skill as a distiller of information. That's what a lot of her posts are, how is that disrespectful?
