When I saw the title, I thought it must be from The Onion.
Despite being from 2010, I think the article's still relevant. Anyway, I can assure you that the programmer in question is not me.
- catlover76 3y agoIt's clearly written in the Onion's style. This is the guy who wrote the "dread pirate Bezos" post about AWS right? Glad I found his blog again (now on Medium).
- meepmorp 3y agoHe also wrote the Google platforms rant: https://courses.cs.washington.edu/courses/cse452/22wi/papers/yegge-platform-rant.html https://courses.cs.washington.edu/courses/cse452/22wi/papers... which is still pretty relevant today, imo.
- catlover76 3y agoAh, that was the post I was thinking of, I think. Thanks!
- tempodox 3y agoInteresting rant. I had to laugh about this: > We’re, like, 99% Arrogance-Free. I did start this post – if you’ll reach back into distant memory – by describing Google as “doing everything right”. - which doesn't sound arrogant at all. And then he goes on to describe how Google is essentially too arrogant to let users set a default font size in fucking Chrome. I don't use their spy tentacle and don't know whether they relented since, but it's just too funny.
