But he's actually not knowledgeable or good at what he does -- if you view his Github page, you'll see that his projects are 100-line thefts or wrappers around other people's work.
He's been a major drain/drag on the Node.js community, and makes the IRC channel a toxic wasteland for a good part of the day.
He trolls other sites as well... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrkDqh9ZVog http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrkDqh9ZVog
- hij1nx 16y agoMarak is definitely unpleasant for some. However, he regularly contributes code to the community that people consider useful. For example among many high profile developers, Tim Caswell, a cornerstone of the Node.js community voted 5/5 for utility on the Nodejitsu Node Knockout entry. You're acting like you're a part of the Node.js community? If you or anyone is going to be so negative, they should at least have one or more nodejs projects that have been publicly noted as useful or relevant. So ironically, you're quite a troll.
- mnutt 16y agoSay what you will about his interactions with people, but "not knowledgeable or good at what he does" is an unfair characterization. I find his hook.io project (http://hook.io/about.html http://hook.io/about.html) particularly interesting, and the BDD testing app he was building for Node Knockout has a lot of potential as well.
