Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Mostly because it attacks me personally though ;)
I must admit that I just can't help but enjoy the sensation that rushes through my body when one of my co-workers enthusiastically extols the virtues of a new concept he's discovered and whose beauty I have not only already understood but whose weaknesses I have analysed to the point where it is yet another feeble attempt at realising the elusive beauty only my mind can grasp.
Now if only I didn't need to do this in order to compensate for the fact that as the breadth and depth of my aesthetic judgements expanded I seem to have lost my ability to synthesize the beauty I perceive so vividly ... ;)
- etal 18y agoIt gets pretty ridiculous in programming languages, too: "So, you've just discovered Scala? (scoff) Briefly interesting, till I realized it just apes Haskell's type system and adds cruft from Java. Oh, you're getting into Haskell now? (rolls eyes) Too bad the type system's not even Turing complete. I've been playing with Qi lately, has its pros and cons, you know."
