Why are HNers so dismissive of sharp, good writers like Gruber and very well thought out designs like the ones covered in this article?

Why are HNers so dismissive of sharp, good writers like Gruber and very well thought out designs like the ones covered in this article?
- melloclello 13y agoBecause Gruber is a shameless Apple sycophant
- mikeash 13y agoI would not call Gruber particularly sharp or good. He's not bad by any means, but his writing is subject to a massive pro-Apple bias and his writing tends to be high on emotion and low on information. I read Daring Fireball because it often has interesting links, but I wish I could easily filter out the non-link bits like this one, because I just don't learn anything from them, and they sometimes (not in this case, but in others) angry up the blood.
- fostermatt 13y agoThe whole purpose of this article was Gruber sharing his experience with his audience. All you were supposed to "learn" was how Apple changed the way he looked at computing.
