The author here has a good point. Social media may encourage us to write in summary. My tweet can go viral if it's funny and captures an emotion - here, that product requirements suffer as soon as making progress becomes difficult. It's something that everyone here can likely empathize with.
I don't even disagree with the author's conclusion, that he needed to stop encouraging this sort of behavior in his daily life.
However, I do disagree that it's the only conclusion to be made here. There was definitely a missed opportunity to take this further. Now that you're being watched because of the witty thing, you have some more influence and eyes on you than you might have yesterday. What better time to capitalize on the moment, and write a short piece about the problem of requirements drift itself? Some may learn something from it; others may get a feel for someone else's viewpoint.
I could write that piece myself now, but without a hook and followers, it's just a diatribe on a blog that nobody reads.
