No idea why this would be downvoted except for the fact that Patrick Can Do No Wrong. He's wildly opinionated, questionably successful before his sudden consultancy (he wrote a mildly successful Bingo card program in Java), and self-satisfied beyond measure.
- emmett 14y agoBecause it's mean spirited and adds nothing of value to the conversation. Your comment is similar; your dislike of Patrick is based entirely on who he is and doesn't bother to engage with the content of the essay at all.
- nvarsj 14y agoI'm not sure I agree that the post above has no relevance. Every time I encounter (an extremely highly voted) patio11 post, my used salesman alert starts blinking. The guy is obviously a master at garnering karma and links, SEO, what have you, while seemingly providing some value. And he makes his money from this combination. So it is useful to realize where the OP is coming from (self-promotion) when considering the validity of his posts, since they are largely anecdotal.
