> I actually don't have any personal criticisms of Jarred
The whole post felt like a personal criticism of Jarred.
And literally 3 sentences later he goes back to insulting him ("productivity fantasy fever dream"). Even if that is true, it's still an unwise post to publish in this form IMHO. If the goal was to defend Zig, that could've been done in a less personal manner.
I'm about to comment exactly this.
I think he messed that part up and it comes off as passive aggressive but he is probably scared of the “outrage” from the angels of the internet about how rude he was to Jarred
I'd consider the opinions professional criticisms of Jarred. While focused on him individually I don't think they are very personal
