"MIT asks brilliant asshole who wrote gcc and emacs and spends his life whining about software to take down his 'knight for hot chicks' sign and hang out elsewhere."
- povertyworld 7y agoChris Lattner also wrote a compiler and gave it away, all without defending rape. Spare me.
- rrss 7y ago"Brilliant asshole" was not intended as a compliment. MIT should have dissociated with Stallman decades ago.
