In fact you aren't getting downvoted -- this is a very popular opinion in this thread and you are currently the top comment with most of the discussion being on this point. I think it was just someone sharing their experience. Which I find super useful, and people rarely do. While it can be nit-picked, I didn't think they said anything off the wall. Pointing out there might be some consequences for work experience of how quickly they have scaled is not off the wall -- you maybe even agree you just don't think it's worth critisizing or even mentioning, but what is worth mentioning is something reasonable people can disagree on. The downside of lots of criticism of someone who shares their experience like this... is it discourages it. People do it so infrequently that I'd rather support people who do and encourage it, by making sure any feedback is constructive and supportive and charitable. Instead, I suspect at this point the OP is thinking "Well, THAT was a mistake, next time I won't share my experience."
