Thanks, this is helpful feedback. I was thinking about this, and where it comes from in my writing. I’m not going to erase these details, because it documents who I am, and my frame of mind. If you leave with a poor opinion of the writer because of it, that’s something we share in common. I think people should keep their egos in check, and I try my best to do so. But you cannot erase ego entirely, and to hide it would be disingenuous. Ego is part of who we are as human beings, and part of what gives us motivation. This blog is partly a research journal, and partly because I seek validation from Hacker News. I am no genius, I just listen to the right people and write about ideas that interest me. If it makes the reader uncomfortable, I can completely understand that. I’m not trying to hide anything, ego included. Anyhow, I just wanted to say I appreciate your taking the time to write this comment!
