Giles, you're acting like a prima donna over what is really a minor quibble with the way Bundler works. How many people do you honestly think get hung up on a warning from Bundler that gives you clear instructions on what to do next? And I know you like to exaggerate things to make a point, but do you really think that warning was added to heckle and mock people? Because that's ridiculous.
I can tell you one thing: there are many, many people who have benefited from the fact that Bundler fixes a boatload of issues for developers and in general makes my life, and their lives, better, even if we have to type "bundle exec", which I have conveniently aliased to "be" (try it).
I'm also willing to bet that a lot of people would benefit from this project if Yehuda takes it on. I don't know if he knows Objective-C either, and I don't care. Why? Because this is a guy who knows how to produce useful software. No, it doesn't let you produce music in your browser, or program beats in Ruby. But it is useful.
Archaeopteryx was the first time I came across you in the Ruby world and I thought it was really cool when I tried it out. Then again, I didn't find it particularly useful. I find Bundler useful every day, and I'm willing to bet lots of other people would too.
I realize I'm making this personal, and I'm sure that opens up a great opportunity for you to disparage my own accomplishments, or perhaps engage in some deliberate heckling and mockery, as opposed to the mockery you mistakenly perceive in a program's error message. I'll save you some time: I suck at programming compared to Yehuda, and I'm probably not as good as you are at it either. But one thing I'm far better at than you is appreciating people for their contributions instead of behaving like a jerk. So give it a rest, it's tiresome and juvenile.
- iamgilesbowkett 15y agowell yeah. here you are making this personal, and what I said is I'm not going to give Yehuda any money because I criticized his PROJECT and he responded with 'fuck you giles.' so he made it personal, and you're making it personal too. I'm not saying Bundler should be destroyed and it's a thing of evil. I said it was super useful but had very aggravating flaws which indicate that Rails went off the rails. If you guys can back off from all the making things personal about me for five minutes you might actually notice that "Rails went off the rails and is no longer entirely true to its original principles" is not such a vicious thing to say. But is "fuck you giles" a response which is going to prevent you from getting my money? Yes, of course it is.
- adriand 15y ago> what I said is I'm not going to give Yehuda any money because I criticized his PROJECT and he responded with 'fuck you giles.' so he made it personal, and you're making it personal too. Well, that's reasonable enough. I'll be honest, when I read that, I assumed it was hyperbole. If it was a literal "fuck you", well yeah, that would bother me too.
