I emailed dang and he kindly unflagged it on request, but it got flagged again soon after. Maybe he can permanently unflag it?

He also said:

'I've unkilled it so you can respond now. It's not really on topic for HN though. Too much of a provocative opinion piece and not enough significant new information (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...). That guarantees a flamewar, which we're trying to avoid on HN.'

I thought it was worth posting because it was written back in August 2020, so was quite prescient.
