It's possible the author didn't expect to have a few thousand Hacker Nerds looking at their blog post already, with all the critique and pressure that entails.

Already? This blog post is from 2 years ago...
Fair enough. My point still stands that they may have been blogging this for themselves or a relatively small number of readers.

I'm reticent to criticize anyone for putting their unfinished or aspirational work up on the internet, it reminds me of a 'net where people hosted their own blogs for mostly noone. Writing destined for a small or non-existent audience feels precious when everything is made to game the attention system.

Well I did not mean it to be offensive, and I hope that the author would not take it this way.

I genuinely thought about this expression when I realised what happened with this project, and looked up the English translation. I shared it because I found it fun and interesting, that's all.
