The validity of your criticism aside, some of which I don't agree with but will get to later, I think you could deliver with a lot more respect. Treating people in this way is unnecessary, whether or not you don't like how Matz was interviewed or how it was translated. You are right, you do sound aggressive, unduly so. If you're aware of that and you're actually sorry, why haven't you made steps to change it? Secondly, he probably uses that as a starting point because that's when he produced the work he is known for. He isn't saying computing didn't exist before this date, it's just a frame of reference. "Back when I first invented Ruby 20 years ago...". What is wrong with this? Would you rather "Back when Guido invented Python 20+ years ago..." or "20 years ago"? It's an irrelevant detail. If you're on CentOS 6.1 and your browser is Firefox 10, why are 5 images on a page such a problem? I didn't think it made things any harder to read at all and certainly didn't affect performance. The increase of font size on the answers puts emphasis on the answers. I don't think this is a good idea but the intention is good and did not make the document anymore painful to read. To finish, my eyesight isn't great and I read the article without my glasses. Please man, you can deliver criticism without being a jerk. It's purely subjective and delivering with such disrespect makes you look arrogant, as though your opinion is law.
