I think tptacek is generally worth reading. He is one of the users with the highest karma on this site (https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=tptacek)

I’m happy to have read this, which is reason enough to publish it - but also it’s clearly generating debate so it seems like a very good thing to have published.

co-mingling your work identity with your gopher-identity is a dangerous game; I should clarify the gopher is not UMN-related.

I generally like tptacek, but this piece has major flaws. His dismissal of all copyright concerns on the grounds that some developers engage in piracy is horribly lazy.

High karma in an internet community is not something I respect automatically. Pewdiepie and every other little online personality have tons of followers and likes.

tptacek has always come across arrogant, juvenile, opinionated, and difficult to work with.
