Here, the video the article is talking about. Save you from reading the author's life story.
While the link is useful, the smug takedown is uncalled for. Humans relate way more through personal stories like this. Without the story, the video is not impressive at all, as most will have now idea how difficult this achievement is. There is also something to be said about adding some flourish and passion in the story, instead of coldly presenting facts.
I get that, some people prefer to have some personal story mixed in the article, but personally i'd like to have my time respected, more than 2 paragraphs of that and i'm out. With that bloated life story and a baitest of the clickbait headline, it deserved to be call out.
I didn't find the story bloated. I found the whole article quite insightful. Not everyone is processing things the same way.
Exactly. Personally i find it bloated.
