nice touch!
- saintfire 3y agoIt is sort of funny that such an innocuous thing was all I could think about while reading it.
- kiwicopple 3y agoha, I think I probably wrote "Fly" to keep their brand name and then continued in blog-writing mode as a result
- OJFord 3y agoAmazing, that was exactly my (only) reaction too. Oh, this must be genuine, hip CEO who has disabled autocapitalisation (or fought it) and not bothered to capitalise anything anyone else with similar education level would ... Until the next paragraph! If I am ever in such a position and make such a decision I hereby give anyone and everyone permission to berate me and point me back to this comment and I'll correct myself thenceforth.
- kiwicopple 3y agoyou mock my capitalization and and in the same comment use "thenceforth". shame on you
- OJFord 3y agoIs there a less 'wordy' way to say that? 'From then on' is longer and worse to type. That matters to me more on (autocapitalising) mobile than it perhaps does otherwise. I don't even really follow your point. Surely if I am 'too prescriptive' in wanting proper capitalisation, that is .. not exactly inconsistent with a 'wordy' choice of word anyway?
- tptacek 3y agoBased on insight I have gained from the deep corporate relationship that has grown between our firms I can say with some confidence that he is fucking with you.
- bmelton 3y agoMathematically speaking, 'henceforth' is shorter
- OJFord 3y agoAnd linguistically speaking, has different meaning.

- toast0 3y agoIf your goal is simply fewer bytes, I think you can leave out thenceforce and have a pretty similar meaning.
