"There's something a bit... I don't know quite how to put it."
Let me help you. But first I have to get my shovel. Because that's the typical shit that is heaved by the "haves" on the "have not's" try and make them seem humble and not anything special. Take Oprah. She just loves to talk about how this and that are so expensive as if she's just an ordinary person like the rest of us. He laid it on a little to thick with the cleaning lady spiel.
Particularly this part about the cleaning lady:
"she’s just respectful and nice and awesome. Why can’t more people be like that? "
Well for one thing he could start and figure out why in particular DHH is such a, well, asshole:
From wikipedia:
"Hansson is an outspoken character known for the crude and brutal way he expresses his opinions, both online and in real life. Hansson and his company have been accused of arrogance,[7][8][9], which he does not deny"
And of course I can't believe the example of why restaurants last 30 years (the ones that do that is) and tech companies don't last or whatever the point he was making.
Why not just compare cars which change every year vs. a burberry coat which is essentially the same?
Calling people names is not really ok with the spirit or guidelines of Hacker News: if that's not something you'd say to DHH (who often pops in to comment here) in person, you shouldn't be writing it.
Ok, I agree with that because I haven't had any personal interactions with DHH and only know from what I have read about him or in his comments. So it was inappropriate. But I still feel the point I am making is valid as far as Jason's thoughts juxtaposed against DHH's apparent behavior. The truth is DHH appears to be a prima donna.
It is interesting how DHH thought seems to get a pass on his behavior on HN in a "boys will be boys" kind of way because what he has accomplished.
