> I checked out at "I am not yet a programmer." Comments that lead with "I immediately stopped reading" are puzzling. If you could not sit through someone else's opinion long enough to get to their actual point, that's fine - but then you turn around and expect others to humor your recounting of that experience rather than the thread topic and read commentary that necessarily won't have anything to do with the main topic? For that matter, why would other thread readers want to read a opinion self-declared as ignorant of the whole topic, which is likely to miss out on key points? It certainly does in this case - the author raises a valid concern within the OSS environment of the lack of incentive for 'useful nonglamorous' grunt work, yet your comment instead waxes nostalgia for your days as an 11 year old. Discounting another's opinion simply at the point that their experiences and perspective diverges from your own (and those you consider acceptable) is practically one of the cardinal sins of open and rational thought and discussion. Frankly, I'm surprised you're flaunting it so proudly and openly.
