I thought the same thing when the opening sentence of his blog post mentioned he had been coded since age 7. I have no reason to believe or not believe that point. But I don't see how that has anything to do with the problem he was about to outline in his blog. Apparently he has a huge trust fund... he could have opened with that.
But I'm still in the "they're generic enough that this shouldn't be a problem" camp.
- slantyyz 14y agoThe problem with e-mail is that people often don't take a step back before replying, especially when they're angry. That usually results in long, ranty emails that can be all over the place.
- PakG1 14y agoI'd say the coded since age 7 bit was to try to get people to emotionally connect with him, and thereby get the tide of public opinion on his side. Just one of the many possible tools in the chest when going to a public war.
- jack-r-abbit 14y agoWeak sauce. It just seems to me a slight trend lately. The age people started coding is creeping lower. Just like the "Check out this app I wrote in random time"... random time seems to be creeping lower too. Maybe I'm wrong. But none the less, what age you started says an entirely different thing about you than what year you started.
