The tone of this article is genuinely repulsive to me.

I would be excited to read more about this exact set of topics, but only from an author who is not so purposefully snide.

Yikes. This author wrote a thing to make people feel bad and it worked. Logging off for awhile.

Indeed - I'll take "try, don't be afraid to fail" over "oh just stop, you're embarrassing yourself" any day. You will embarrass yourself.. what are we, 13 again?
