> I'm not saying I am a great hacker, but I do sympathize with this fussiness.

Nobody assumed you were. And by sympathize you mean putting forth the argument that "great hackers" are the worst hire an ISV can make?

The author portrays himself as a coding by profession, 9 to 5 paycheck programmer, and also as the best possible hire because he has identified the users as being the primary goal. Weird.

I assume that the way he writes software is similar to the way he is piggybacking on the passion and expertise of Paul Graham.
