I think he's mainly saying that coding in front of an audience exposes you to errors which shows that you are human.
- overgard 11y agoI left out that chunk, but only because I didn't think it changed the nature of what was said. The way I read the sentence it was the act of coding was the humble part; the fact that he did it in front of other people implied that he was "a man of the people". (frankly, I don't see how coding in front of people makes a person humble -- I would think it's unrelated. If anything it requires confidence, not humility).
- sliverstorm 11y agoIt's rarely explicitly said, but coding is considered a low status activity. --overgard (an example of why you have to be careful about how much liberty you take in your quoting)
