Thanks for the encouraging words. Unfortunately, not everyone
shares this opinion.

I didn't feel like it was a resounding success. As usual, I
was not prepared for the amount of nonsense that you can get
as feedback. The "conventional wisdom" is extremely strong.
So strong in fact, that people go as far as calling my
carefully crafted post as "misleading" and a "disservice",
instead of as an invitation for fresh, independent thinking.

When something like that happens, I tend to forget the lessons
I try to teach myself and others, and I let everyone know that
I don't find such a qualification acceptable.

A problem with APP is that it sends out confusing messages.
The quality of the contributions is very uneven, especially
in the comment sections. Some total newbies in HDL design
are listed as guru, and vice versa. How is novice supposed
to know what information to trust?

Anyway, I have a new blog post almost ready. Let's try again.
