This is a tounge in cheek jab at someone who is successful, rich, handsome, has a huge job title, is a famous programmer, and also sells a a lot books (because they are very popular). The fact that those books read like they were written by a 17 year old actually gives me some comfort...

You're really using a fictional story that he wrote to conclude that he has a very black and white view of the world? That's not proof of anything...

Sure, but a fiction book isn't written in a vacuum.

For a light-hearted take.
