I personally find his work and his posts interesting, and enjoy seeing them pop up on HN.
If you prefer not to see his posts on the HN list pages, a practical solution is to use a browser extension (such as Stylus) to customise the HN styling to hide the posts.
Here is a specific CSS style which will hide submissions from Jeff's website:
In this example, I've made it almost invisible, whilst it still takes up space on the screen (to avoid confusion about the post number increasing from N to N+2). You could use { display: none } to completely hide the relevant posts.
The approach can be modified to suit any origin you prefer to not come across.
The limitation is that the style modification may need refactoring if HN changes the markup structure.
I stopped following this guy back in 2015 when he straight up forked all of my ansible roles and then published everything to Ansible Galaxy before mine were even complete, tested and ready to be published, and only for me to find that the same day they were all forked by him a new Github organization with the name of the org I had used in my roles had been registered and then squatted, it completely turned me off to his methods.

You're awesome, thank you.

I only ever see him on HN. He's smart, kind, and talks about interesting things. Are you sure what you're feeling isn't envy?
