- crazygringo 11mo agoWhat you see as defensiveness, I see as reasonable replies to a very silly faux-inspirational post.
- arduinomancer 11mo agoHave you considered the idea that it is just exaggerating to make a point and isn’t meant to be taken literally? Exaggeration is a common technique employed in human language for emphasis.
- crazygringo 11mo agoNot really sure what it's exaggerating? The writing style isn't one I'd characterize as exaggeration. Maybe you can clarify?
- tempestn 11mo agoIt's also unclear to me if people are intentionally ignoring the fact that it's about procrastination, or actually don't realize that in the rush to argue about what constitutes productive work.
- jojomodding 11mo agoI feel personally attacked. Not necessarily by the author but more by the part of my brain telling me to do useful work instead of slacking off.
