Maciej is another "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing"-type pundit - a.k.a. "smart-ss".
He is sometimes right (his analysis of website obesity), sometimes completely wrong (he argued at length during the COVID pandemic that Belarus was doing something right, when it was obvious from the beginning that it was just a dictatorship cooking numbers - confirmed by post-analysis that shows abnormal rounding and other aberrant distributions) and in both cases he will be insufferably confident and arrogant he got it right.
The kind of guy who never stops to ask himself if he could be wrong, instead devoting all his brainpower finding all the reasons you are certainly wrong. (Which, unsurprisingly, applies when a pinboard user asks for support, too.)

There’s way too many zombies on the internet that have a societal need to be called out or corrected, Maciej style. It’s not like this guy is a VC funded hack that takes orders for virtually every corporate policy decision while being prohibited from being brutally honest, or even plainly honest. Let him cook, even if he is a Democrat.
