"Dislikes JavaScript" prefer to elaborate?

Mostly a joke. I would hope that any sysadmin with experience wouldn't have a lot of reasons to "like" JavaScript. Hopefully, we could give them a few.

You need to know assembly nowadays to do system administration?

Nope. I think you either missed the title of the post, or the first sentence of it ;)

System engineering, including systems programming. Assembly can be useful, especially disassembling. It's also an indication, I'd think, of a particular interest in systems engineering.

It's handy for whipping out gdb to investigate segfaults at least.

Notice the green in the username? Nobody on team actually sticks with an identity, particularly Marak (currently barracks on HN).

Lots of sock-puppeteering going on.

It's only sock-puppeting if you use multiple accounts to upvote your own shit. Posting under a throwaway and sock-puppeting are not the same thing.

I know at least a few people who change their reddit and HN identities rather frequently. Some people just want to be relatively anonymous and I'd be wary of attributing it to anything more than that without good reason.

If you look at the history of this person you'll notice they have a history of attacking any posts relating to Nodejitsu.

If you look at the history of this person, you'll notice they are a member of Nodejitsu and/or are shilling on behalf of them at the moment.

Also a quote from a person who isn't me from some time ago:

@maraksquires marak squires I've decided I'm going to create a new account every-time I post any comment or article to hackernews. Take that.

Go ahead, call me a liar.

I'll call you a liar. You posted that I "threatened you with a handgun" on Hacker News, which was easily disproven using pubically available IRC logs.

Why don't you take your personal trolling issues somewhere else.

That doesn't change the fact that you bombard every post in any way related to nodejitsu with angry comments.

I get that you have some serious personal vendetta against them, but if you aren't going to add any value, save it for your blog.

I doubt I've posted to even a third of their advertisements on HN. Please show data before making a claim like that. The last 24 hours do not a sample-set make.

It's something they do collectively and pervasively, and I mean sock-puppeteering literally here.
