Thanks for the patented HN contrarian view! :) It's true, comment boards reward the "oddly formulaic" - cliches and well-worn passages carry extra weight. They also lead to weird leaps of illogic, like your assumption I follow any growth gurus at all! Happy to have a longer conversation offline if you'd rather address a man instead of a strawman.

I found your comment condescending: the tone assumes you have absolute knowledge and that the OP is immediately "wrong" in their approach. It's an extremely dismissive way to respond to someone asking for pretty specific advice. So I addressed that. I didn't intend it as ad hominem against your character - I only intended to address the specific contents of your comment, so apologies for the guru comment (I just assumed you followed them since you were recommending their handbooks).
