Well, how sad. I have liked what Jakob wrote quite a bit but not only does this article betray a lack of self awareness as it describes quite a few of his own posts—not that there's anything wrong with that as he has published truly insightful things too and the fluff I still liked for the positivity—but then he used an essay by PG as an example of this.

And now I'm not one of those people who think that everything PG writes is gold, but it's hardly "insight porn". In fact, if that particular essay is "advice", it's the advice to not even try as it's likely just not for you, so it almost seems like Greenfeld misrepresented it just because of a single sentence.
