First off, everything I say is "according to my opinion". That is implied and I don't have to explicitly state it on every sentence I write (especially on sentences that already sound like opinions).

Second, it's really not a bold statement. Read the other comments here—quite a lot of them are critical and the top rated ones all have excellent points. Given that, claiming the article isn't very good isn't much of a stretch. You want reasons? Read the rest of the %$#@! comments.

Now, my comment may have been on the pithy side, but I found it particularly funny that the guy was commenting about how he agreed with the article, complaining that when he expresses the same sentiment on HN he gets downvoted, but nearly every other comment on the story was attacking its shallow understanding of Free Software/Open Source, cryptographic library programmers, and virtually every other point it tried to make. IE, he appears to have same misguided opinions as the article's author, but not the self awareness to enlighten himself.
