I'm with you. After hearing him mentioned numerous times in various contexts, I gathered he was some sort of sage guru. Then, I read one of his articles for the first time, "'Interface' considered harmful[1]. I found it rambling and the style to be a bit condescending - and, I found out after reading this piece, I absolutely deter the "X considered harmful" premise[2], which is probably the main instigator in giving the article a condescending feel, along with the acted-out teacher-pupil discussion. I'm a peer, not a pupil. The tweet seems short-sighted and destructive to me as well - not the action of some wise, caring "uncle".
