Was an interesting discussion, but lost me with the sort of pointless Musk bashing near the end.

I remember back in the late 90's and early 2000's it was similarly cool to bash anything related to Microsoft.

I spent a good bit of time writing a lengthy comment on slashdot about "Why to code". It was fairly poignant and well-received, except at the end of it I took a low effort pot-shot at Microsoft - because it was cool to do at the time.

Someone replied and (rightly) called me out on it. Why muddle an otherwise interesting talk / piece with a cheap, drive-by swipe?

That was nearly twenty years ago, but let's call this comment me paying it back (if the author reads HN).
