I disagree on two counts:

- having Colin stop by your thread is strictly an opportunity for useful information to flow from a singular source to many people

- you would hear that aloud 100 times a day in any office where serious work was being done by professionals on a deadline and think nothing of it, bet your ass places in the world where serious hackers rise only on merit and have the best gear embargoed are saying stuff like that all the time. this nepotism capture bubble is an outlier in the history of serious engineering.

Defining the rudeness threshold down to the point where cperciva clears it is one part comedy and two parts tragedy with the words Hacker News in bold at the top of the page.
