Love this bit from the Q&A section:
> You should pronounce it as "kludg-in" as in "runnin" or "trippin". So, if someone asks "what are you doing?", you don't say "I'm using cluegen." No, you'd say "I'm kludgin up some classes." The latter is more accurate as it describes both the tool and the thing that you're actually doing. Accuracy matters.
- tda 6y agoI read the readme only after this comment and was surprised by how detailed this was. Why would someone put effort complicated tool, benchmark it etc. at then not really take it seriously? Until I noticed who the author was, then it suddenly made complete sense
- sq_ 6y agoI don't know the author at all really, but I do appreciate a professional in any field who can find humor in their work and avoid taking themselves too too seriously. The writing in the README reminds me of people like Derek Lowe (author of the In The Pipeline pharma/bio/whatever blog) and John D. Clark (author of Ignition!) who can create exceptional things and deliver knowledge in a humorous and engaging way.
