Therefore, my advice to you is simple, care less about "what his writing does for me", and focus only on what is your own writing does for you.

I pity you and the likes of you who are coming here to shit all over as if there aren't any better things to do during the day.

The commenter did not say Paul Graham writes quickly, so I'm not sure why you keep fixating on that point.

Good lord. They said they like his writing, but found the particular tweet you shared pretentious. Your response to that light criticism is so disproportionate it reads sycophantic. This is a thread about good writing, I think criticizing anything is fair game.

So you're just blindly accusing someone who said they liked his writing of not reading his writing?
