  +1. I just had a look at the text, saw no code or math formulas, and didn't even bother to read the first paragraph. The title itself is not enough to spark my interest I guess.

    You lot have a bit to learn about leadership. It has much less to do with code than you would think. A leader of a technical squad needs enough technical knowledge to properly contextualize what their team is dealing with, but that's all. Leadership is about setting up team members such that the whole group succeeds. It's about soft skills and knowing how any action or decision will impact how people feel about the situation at hand. It's about wrangling a team such that they behave cohesively.

This seems fairly reasonable, but it reads as just a set of disparate notes. I feel that if author is asking for money for writing (via paywall) then maybe convert the notes to an essay/article?

Article is about him defending a website from being hacked by "white supremacists". White supremacists don't hack websites, they shoot you in the face with a shotgun.

      I'm racist because I can identify that you are pre-judging someone's criminal choices based on their group affiliation?
