In a world of space architects and ignorant cargo cult practitioners, this post is a breath of fresh air. While some might find the style vitriolic and “toxic” it’s nothing but honesty peppered with salty experience. Having said that, the guy represents the old guard of tech, the kind of people who ask “why do you want to do this” instead of trying to help you, and usually follow this up with a useless suggestion for an alternative that sort of does what you want but not really. Thanks, I guess. They have a very concrete idea of how things should be done, new ways of doing old things are frowned upon, and anyone challenging their “authority” is seen as an imbecile. I had the dubious pleasure of working with such a man a few years back and while I couldn’t but admire his technical expertise and competence, I grew to hate him to a degree that would rival that which the author of the blog post hates Google. Get off our lawn, old geeks! You’re not the only ones with opinions around here.
