I haven&#x27;t read the post. I came here first to look for comments about Stephen Wolfram being a shameless self-promoter.  Was not disappointed.<p>[edited to change original wording which I realize was a bit over the top, and perhaps came across as closer to an attack on Wolfram than a characterization of how he is perceived by many HN commenters.]<p>It does seem like every Wolfram-related thread here has more than a couple of comments about how egotistical and self-aggrandizing he sounds.<p>I sometimes wonder if Wolfram is aware of how he comes across to a lot of people. And if so, whether it&#x27;s a deliberate strategy.
