> Zach Tellman is basically Microsoft's idea of a smart person. To be fair (and to contradict your point), you are better and smarter for saying this, it's hilarious. > In reality, of course, the author has no claim to judge who is serious or who is an intellectual. Precisely. And even more, the personalized attack on PG seem more like a giant projection of Tellman's. "I recognized that he had a tendency towards self-aggrandizement..." "In many ways, those early essays contained the clearest articulation of his framework; it just took me ten years to see it." It took Tellmen ten years of deep thought to finally crack this nut: that PG is a profoundly unserious intellectual! Ten years, but finally he did it, he cracked it. Hard to find more ridiculous self-aggrandizement than that.
