I find it very strange that people are voting this down. I mean seriously, we're talking about whether someone writing about development is "ordinary"... Given the above credentials, you're seriously arguing that PG is in the same category as ordinary random dev writing programming articles? Seriously? He's just not. That's just wrong. He's got stellar academic and business credentials - that combination is not common. I guess haters gonna hate and all that.

Keep talking about business "success" stories and their secrets.

He isn't in the same category as an average programmer. He's way lower, since he doesn't work in the field any more.

He is something of an expert on business, I suppose, if you take having lots of money as evidence of smarts rather than as evidence of bad character.

Vastly overestimating the average programmer.

But not the average programmer's estimation of their own ability! ;-)
