This blog piece is not a taxonomy. A real taxonomy would provide sample taxa living or stuffed in formaldehyde.

At most, this piece is just a literary exercise that provides no solutions for the imaginary problems it suggests.

I would definitely change my opinion if facts were pointed to of actual projects and persons.

An excellent example of the Hacker News subtype, Too Good To Enjoy Anything.

This specimen can usually be found three or four comments below top comment expressing extreme negativity or pessimism at any kind of good announcement, or as we see here, latching on to an irrelevant pedantic argument as reasoning for why a particular submission cannot be enjoyed. A deeply cynical creature, the TGTEA, or tigtea as it is sometimes called, generally shuns from new stimuli for fear of the feeling of pure enjoyment. For instance, even though this comment provides examples the OP asks for, it's unlikely this particular specimen will enjoy this comment.
