"The UNIX command line and most programming languages are ineffective and slow tools, because they do not make use of the brain’s ability to process visual inputs quickly in parallel and contextualize large amounts of details into a cohesive idea."

"Too much reading!"

"Linux programmers are stupid."

This reads like satire. Surely this must be satire?

It's not satire, it's somebody with high education and low experience.

To quote from the 'About' section,

>To achieve this goal, I am developing a file system to replace the hierarchical file system paradigm used on every computer since the 1970s. I am also developing a human-computer interface to replace and extend the mouse and keyboard, which have kept the desktop experience from moving forward for nearly 50 years. I am working hard to move the desktop computing experience forward, breaking it out of the confines of tradition and integrating the full potential of advances in technology into the desktop experience.

It's essentially the cathedral mindset (vs. Linux' bazaar mindset). It's about designing a system according to the author's best knowledge vs. evolving a system according to both known and also unknown constraints.

I'm not sure, it sounds like someone blaming everyone else for his own mistakes and willing to spend more time writing this random rant rather than spending a bit of time learning things he's not familiar with.
I found this on LinkedIn. I assure you, it's not satire...
