Clicking through his links to various posts about e.g. stack pointers or flame graphs, my takeaway is he's an outlier in productivity, and got a lot done in 3.5 years at a monstrously large organization.

I'm pretty envious of his capabilities, in 3.5 years I can ship a couple webapps, I would never personally get JVM compilation flags added.

Is his post self promotion? Yeah, probably.

Does it matter and do the top 3 comments on HN be salty about that? Probably not that useful.
