This has been my view as well. Author comes off across as a 'tumblrina' and sort of obsessing over small annoyance rather than a serious writing on providing insight for real engineers who have better things to do than whine on medium
You could state your disagreement without casting aspersions on the masculinity and competence of the people you disagree with. Given that you yourself are wasting time reading posts on Medium and then whining about them on HN, I have to ask myself whether you are not a real engineer, or whether just maybe real engineers can whine about things sometimes.
