As soon as I saw Troy's post about this in my news feed, I thought I'd buy it immediately, but $39 is a lot for this sort of thing. I've bought similar books from tech bloggers and they've been closer to $15.

…and yet the best selling genre year in and year out in the US is self-help. “Losers whine about giving their best, winners go home and %#$& the Prom Queen.” - The Rock
That's a very misogynist quote that doesn't belong in HN, in my humble opinion.

That being said, I don't agree with a lot of his opinions on infosec practices. And I understand the self-absorbed thing, I find it weird he records a half hour weekly video about himself. I understand a weekly update blog post, but a video is a big commitment expectation for followers to make.

#38I wonder when Troy will start caring about being carbon neutral, especially when he's in a financial position to be so.

Aren't we all, to an extent? Otherwise you and I wouldn't be posting our thoughts/opinions here for all to read.
Mmmh, no? If we were all full of ourselves we will try to be opinion *leaders*. Giving your opinion from time to time on a forum like HN doesn't imply you aspire to be an opinion leader or recognized public figure in your niche.
And I'm making no judgement on whether is fullness level, or ours, is justified or not.

At 1st, I didnt think $39 is that high. But when I clicked on the link, its only a collection of blog posts-- and yeah, $39 is too steep for non-original content.
