DHH is a proponent of Stoicism. This article is an argument for the Stoic concept called "dichotomy of control", which can be summarised as: "Don't worry about things you don't have any control over. Instead, try to change those things for the better you at least have a some sort of control over". Articles like these don't have to be motivated by feeling remorseful about or by trying to do some weird kind of penance for one's success. Marcus Aurelius probably is the most well-known adherent of Stoicism during classical antiquity and he was Roman Emperor after all. Aside from Mount Olympus itself you can't really get any more to the top than that. You rarely hear people say Aurelius was just humblebragging because he felt uncomfortable about his success, do you?
