Hello! Sorry, that whole page is a bit tongue-in-cheek, but there are two types of comment on there. One batch is from people that... well, you can see that they're like.

The other half I put up there because I think they actually have me dead to rights. It's one of those weird things where, being fairly young, I already know that I'm going to look back on many of the things I write and realize they were hot-headed, and I wasn't nearly as good as I thought I was. I didn't think the writing came off as smug - I'm pretty aware that I clicked five buttons and skipped a computer science education - but I still appreciate the reality check that maybe I -am- being obnoxious. It's just fun to be a hothead sometimes, and I'm actually starting to get nervous with all the HN traffic. Yelling into the void is less threatening to my career.

The only quibble I have with the original comment is the assumption I didn't try very hard to let people know it was an issue - I promise I did, sometimes management just... doesn't care.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, sorry for any unintended offense I might have caused, because you were totally fair. It feels wrong to take it off the page anyway though!
