- ahoyhere 17y agoI find it funny that the Rails developers have a worse rep than Linux users, compared to whom they are cuddly teddy bears (on the whole). FTR: Zed Shaw writes/says everything very tongue-in-cheek. And he makes it funny. He's like Maddox. Oh yeah, and he sees the deeper issues, whereas this guy is just ranting. FTR 2: The "Fuck You" slide is massively misunderstood (I was there).
- code_duck 17y agoTrue, it seems like now and then the kernel dev mailing lists get a bit out of hand! Zed Shaw and DHH both have a style of being very direct, and there's something good to be said about that.
- ryanbigg 17y agoOh yeah, just because someone uses emotional words such as "fucking bullshit" and "you pathetic bastards" he must be an asshole rather than a person trying to convey a point.
- code_duck 17y agoNo offense intended, it's just a different culture I guess. I don't have a problem with this style. I'm simply observing that, say, Django doesn't have developers asking "So what the fuck are you going to do about" the remaining tickets for 1.2.
