This post is sooo symptomatic of people who have too much time and don't seem to be educated beyond their field. Overthinking something that maybe not that complicated after all. The egos of software people is just bigger than it should be. Also mythical thinking like "10x bla bla" is symptomatic.
Your comment is basically a personal attack of the character of the author. Totally unnecessary. Additionally, I completely disagree with your assessment. It's clear the author has spent a lot of time thinking about this and you framing it as "over thinking" and "not educated beyond their field" and "big ego" is downright mean spirited, wrong, and reductivism.
Of course it is a personal attack on the character of the person. That is the only thing guard-railing spreading nonsense. Software people need to work on their character.
