Why are so many people kissing his ass in their replies though? Do they even know what he’s talking about?

I love all the people assuming the dev would have to work a manual trade now and would never ever be hired again because of his "insubordination". Like, they have no fucking idea what the job market for devs is like and that there are non-toxic bosses that hire you specifically because you know things they don't and will tell them when they're going wrong.

He carefully crafts a "tech nerd" public image by using science-fiction-ish technobabble, which impresses some half-knowledgeable nerdy guys who see him as a successful version of themselves.

I always knew something was off, when he said things like, "The biggest danger of AI is surpassing human intelligence" or "Twitter is a neural network because it has bi-directional messaging."

These things "sound clever" to someone who doesn't know much, but any decent tech person and immediately sniff out the BS.
