I wrote an article about writing a code coverage tool in Ruby 1.9. :-D
- nphase 16y agoI won't lie, it's really weird to see an article on an AT&T sponsored website that starts with 'ZOMG'.
- tenderlove 16y agoI could start with something else if that would make you feel more comfortable. Maybe "PEW PEW PEW!" or "O HAI" would be better? ;-)
- icey 16y agoIf it's not too late, could you fix the title to match the article's title?
- tenderlove 16y agoDone! Pew pew pew!
- towndrunk 16y agoI don't know ruby but it appears he didn't write a code coverage tool as the title says but rather formatted the output from the built in code coverage tool into html.
- singular 16y agoI hate to be critical in a terribly ad hominem way, but I find programming/tech articles written in that '13 year old boy who has had a little too much fizzy pop to drink' style with the 'hilarious' l33t-speak aren't really helping eliminate some of the more negative preconceptions of us hackers out there.
- pgbovine 16y agoyep, agreed ... especially because it sounds so artificial, like they're trying to make AT&T engineering seem hip and cool. if you read just the conclusion, it sounds like a normal article, so clearly someone made a concerted effort to sound 1337 in the rest of the article. if the author had really been a 13-year-old kid, the conclusion wouldn't sound so 'formal'

- tenderlove 16y agoI wrote this article like I am every day. Please read my personal blog or my twitter if you don't believe me: http://tenderlovemaking.com/ http://tenderlovemaking.com/ http://twitter.com/tenderlove http://twitter.com/tenderlove I'm sorry. I will try to sound less artificial in the future. :-(
- xinuc 16y agoactually, I love your writing style
- vegansxe 16y agoIt's totally not artificial. That's just how Aaron (yc user tenderlove and author of the article) talks and writes. It's totally sincere. See his blog and twitter for further evidence. http://tenderlovemaking.com http://tenderlovemaking.com http://twitter.com/tenderlove http://twitter.com/tenderlove
- rue 16y agoI think it is more than sincere, it is earnest.
- artpop 16y agoI don't care, I've seen Aaron present with ninjas on stage.
- aaronbrethorst 16y agoLove the typography; love the article! I gotta ask you: with such a rocking 'stache, you must spend a lot of time at Linda's or Smith. Which is it?
