Agree. Let the author put his money where his mouth is first, then we can discuss where he's right.
He wants programming to be "easier." Well everybody wants everything easier. It's easy to have just one thing easy scarifying other dependencies. But the limitations exist everywhere. And it was damn hard to even come this far and maintain the state we are here now:
Louis C.K's take:

- q-base 11y agoLoved the Louis C.K video! Are any of his shows based somewhat around this topic or is it only on this talk show that he talks about this?
- acqq 11y ago> Are any of his shows based somewhat around this topic Not that I know. It wouldn't be appropriate for a general audience he targets. Anyway, there's a pattern, as soon as almost every stand up comedian becomes reasonably successful he starts to travel a lot by plane and the gags start to revolve about that. We just got lucky with his take to make it meta enough, recognizable and hilarious at the same time.

- acqq 11y ago> I am. Jesus! (1) What are you going to make or you're making already to change the "suckiness" of programming? Or was your article (and the question to others) your contribution? You've got at least a lot of comments here (and a lot of disagreement too) now you have something to proceed. 1) John 8: 58 and http://hightechministries.org/Eight%20I%20Am%20of%20Jesus.pdf http://hightechministries.org/Eight%20I%20Am%20of%20Jesus.pd...
