I actually liked all of those articles, except the Paul Graham one, which was part of later Uncov. Back in the day, Ted had the knack for saying exactly what needed to be said about a lot of ego-laden fellows. He's more a critic than he is a builder; I'm one of those weird fellows that thinks a critic is a valuable part of any ecology.

I'm fine with negativity as long as you're saying something useful. The OP just snarked without any meaningful criticism; I attempted to criticize him and got downvoted to the depths of Hades, which I guess is how it goes sometime. For all his numerous failings, I still like Dziuba more than I dislike him, especially when he insults somebody along with a well-delivered counterpoint rather than just insulting.
