There's some irony, is there not, in presuming to be able to identify "the best programmers" when you've created a programming blog that completely falls down when it gets significant web traffic?
Most developers are terrible at system administration which is quite disappointing and is one of the reason that the author uses Clownflare. Being able to maintain systems is as important as writing code
This is kind of a ridiculous take.
Not going to speak for the author, but some of us just want to be able to write a blog post and publish it in our free time. We're not trying to "maintain systems" for fun.
Some of those posts get zero views, and some of them end up on the front page of Hacker News.
There is literally a "Submit to HN" button at the bottom of the blog post.
Moreover, the author appears to be a lot more serious than just a free time blogger:
