Not to pile on, but: I would urge you to completely delete all of those biographical details. They are not only irrelevant - they are a huge turnoff which destroys your credibility for what is otherwise a decent undergraduate-level blog post. The details about how brilliant you are make you seem both arrogant and deeply ignorant. Nobody cares about a dubious and meaningless "prediction" about automations or pandemics or whatever. Nobody thinks your prediction that MS would buy GitHub indicates a deeper understanding of typed languages and machine learning. None of it makes you look intelligent or prescient. It just makes you look like a foolish narcissist.

Thanks, this is helpful feedback. I was thinking about this, and where it comes from in my writing. I’m not going to erase these details, because it documents who I am, and my frame of mind. If you leave with a poor opinion of the writer because of it, that’s something we share in common. I think people should keep their egos in check, and I try my best to do so. But you cannot erase ego entirely, and to hide it would be disingenuous. Ego is part of who we are as human beings, and part of what gives us motivation. This blog is partly a research journal, and partly because I seek validation from Hacker News. I am no genius, I just listen to the right people and write about ideas that interest me. If it makes the reader uncomfortable, I can completely understand that. I’m not trying to hide anything, ego included.

Anyhow, I just wanted to say I appreciate your taking the time to write this comment!
