The tone is very weird: not quite passive-aggressive (yet oddly specific in a way that evokes the suspicion of that), and not very helpful, either.

- dTal 4y agoIt reads to me like a combination of "don't feel bad for doing <x>" and "don't ever do <x>", which leads to tonal whiplash. The potshots look to me more like common sins of the nerding class than passive-aggressive indictments of a particular subset of it. I think there's something good here, but it would benefit from separation into "dos" and "don'ts" lists.
