Am I the only one who finds that type of phrasing distasteful? I'm sure he didn't build any of those alone, and as a "leader" and a product person he probably didn't do much of the "building". Seems like he was mostly in an advisory role for Drupal, Docker and MongoDB, he didn't exactly build them.
Afaik the last 3-4 are actually largely his personal projects that he probably built most of himself. But yeah, kinda agree for the other ones, the phrasing feels a little self-aggrandizing to my ear. Not sure how intentional it is though, that kind of phrasing I think sort just sneaks into the lexicon for some.

#13> Over the past 6 years Go’s user base has grown ~10x and Go users have increased their frequency from occasional to daily usage. Impressive. How accurate is this?
I can confirm it's quite accurate. I've been the person responsible for these metrics the entire time cited.
Technically I don't think "author of article says they can confirm that numbers they used in their article are accurate" really holds up as a valid argument ;).
Tongue-in-cheek feedback aside, congrats on all your achievements and good luck on your future projects!

#14Wow, thanks for all those great contributions.
Looks like you have a good eye for picking good tech & teams to join and work with.
Any insights or things you saw in common?

Generally, I'm with you. In this case, I'm only half with you (the phrasing around Go and Docker could use some humility), but he really did build Hugo and Cobra. He contributed quite a bit to the Go ecosystem, he's not just some product person taking credit for work other people actually did.

#16> I led the team that designed MongoDB’s pioneering user experience
As someone who has used mongo, genuinely curious about which part of the user experience is being highlighted here.
Thanks for all your work with the Go community and good luck with the new team!

Perhaps Mongo Atlas?

#19A bit off topic, but does anyone else find a data/financial company name "two sigma" to be...either troubling (how often two sigma events happen randomly and their lack of meaning beyond random fluctuation), or really on the nose?

So basically a Googler, nonetheless.
