> article [by @kelas is all about] how good he as at writing them funny to see how this is still relevant. i'm sorry to say, but anyone who read this ancient piece at least marginally past tl;dr would know that your conclusion can't be more false (must be due to my poor command of your language, sorry about that.) i originally wrote this text in response to eponymous question on quora, which saw some unexpected gargantuan success with 100k+ views in the first year or something like that. tj said "meow" under that quora answer, and disappeared for good - while i was left exposed to some really agitated tech bloggers who wanted an interview about how did i get so smart to figure out that the entire headless chicken called node community was just brutally duped. no such interviews could be granted, but in wake of the story some people bothered to look for the clues in his gh activity - mostly frequency analysis of "his" commit logs in a galaxy of repos. this is why most tj's repos were promptly republished elsewhere after that. bottomline: the article says that tj was a SCAM, so there's that.
