And people complain about Zed Shaw's expletive-filled writing style? At least Zed has a sense of humor and blasts just about everything in sight. As for this article, let's see. Hero worship? Check. Ad hominem attacks? Check. Uninformed comments ("RubyForge? What... is that?")? Check.
- ajross 18y agoYeah, this is disappointing. Mostly because Hadoop is, in fact, a pretty nifty piece of software. But it's a cluster thing, and individual hackers don't do clusters for some pretty fundamental economic reasons. So to Dziuba, that means that the Hadoop people at Yahoo and elsewhere are "grownups". Sigh.
- scott_s 18y agoI thought that was an odd distinction. For some reason, he equates open-source with the Web 2.0, Ruby crowd. The first things that come to my mind are Linux and gcc, which are two of the most important software projects on the planet.
- pojo 18y agoNo, he doesn't. He's clearly drawn a distinction between Web 2.0 open source and the "rest" of open source. His entire point is to belittle and laugh at Web 2.0 open source attempts.
