To be honest? I found Yegge's leaving-Google post to be one of his most underwhelming to date. Even if you don't agree, it's a bloody blog post on the internet.

To be honest? I found Yegge's leaving-Google post to be one of his most underwhelming to date. Even if you don't agree, it's a bloody blog post on the internet. It's not calling people out. It's not advancing a cause. It's someone talking about changing jobs; it could as well be a personal journal entry.
Spending as much time on it as Kessler did seems like a waste of time. Spending as much time as Krubner did on a rebuttal to Kessler seems doubly so. It's the height of making mountains of molehills.
- mikestew 9y agoIt reminds me of what Auberon Waugh [0] called the “chattering class”. Much ado about little, and a certain class feels an obligation to weigh in regardless.

- susan_hall 9y agoI agree about Kessler. Why would she write an essay about Yegge? Slow news day? Writers block? Who cares about Yegge's blog post? How did she even find it? Still, QZ has a big audience. QZ is popular in Silicon Valley. I feel like once something is up on QZ, people are going to respond to it.
