"Maybe it's Rails or Python or something. Now, name 4 people on the core team without looking them up."
Wrong. I use python and I do know the name of at least 20 core devs. May be because I hang at #python-dev or follow them at twitter, but I do know. As a matter of fact if I love any project I'll know the core devs. Sorry Zed, you lost me there on that part or else I was loving your article.
- apgwoz 16y agoYou're certainly an exception, not the rule. In my immediate circle of python programmers, most of them would name Guido, Beazley and maybe on a good day Alex Martelli. I have to agree with Zed on that point.
- bockris 16y agoI don't read python-dev and I could name 7 core Python devs without even thinking. (Guido van Rossum, Alex Martelli, Raymond Hettinger, Martin van Loweis, Jeremy Hilton, Georg Brandl, Fredrik Lundh) (I'm really bummed that David Beazley didn't come to mind right away. Sorry David)
