Zed is having an awfully hard time convincing people about this idea. He really needs to either just build it already or drop it. I mean, we get it. You want to build a music browser. We don't "get" your vision. Yes, ok, fine. Get on with it already. What are you waiting for? Time spent wanking about on your blog is time not spent writing code.
- nailer 17y agoSeems really damn simple: A web browser visits host.domain and gets documents An SFTP client visits host.domain and gets files A music client visits host.domain and gets music Ie, like the program you have open now, except it only shows the music produced at news.yc.com, rather than this page.
- michaelcampbell 17y agoInteresting. Sounds like a solution looking for a problem to solve. It will be interesting to see where this goes.
- icey 17y agoThere is absolutely no reason for you to be this negative. If this was Joe Schmoe's random blog, I don't think you'd be making these kinds of statements.
- michaelcampbell 17y agoI don't see anything negative about what he said. Build the thing, or don't. Whether you believe Zed's previous outbursts were Andy Kaufman'esque genius or simply the tantrums of a petulant child, he brought this scrutiny on himself. My opinion, of course; I'm often wrong.
- michaelcampbell 17y ago> Zed is having an awfully hard time convincing people about this idea. I speak only for me here, but he has a hard time convincing me because I don't understand what the heck it /is/. Maybe I'm too daft to 'get it' (totally likely), but I agree with you; build it or don't build it, but stop trying to tell me what it is not.
