Maybe some people dismissed her problem as 'impossible' because she didn't inform what kind of load balancing technique was the load balancer using?

  I suspect what happened is that they didn't understand the problem, and so resorted to ineffective means to steer
  the attention away from their own inadequacies.

^ This statement is kinda harsh.

I think it would be better phrased as suggesting they thought they understood but really didn’t understand the problem and therefore made a preemptive conclusion.

Every post on that blog is about how the author is incredibly clever and surrounded by dolts.

Many of her posts are about teaching or communicating issues like this to others. In other words, there is no reason to give a class like this if she doesn’t actually know more than the interns.

And I thought I was the only one that gets that vibe from the site's writing.

Anyway, several of the posts tend to do quite well on HN, so it looks like commenters look past that when they engage with the stories.
