That's out of order. Dan is a coder, a writer, something of a designer, and has founded or been involved with several startups. He shows he knows a thing or two.
Put another way, I very much doubt any of these co-hosts you admire share your view that Dan is clueless.
- pooriaazimi 14y agoYes, he is a coder (Ruby on Rails), has had talks on Ruby, is familiar with iOS development, Perl, PHP (he said PHP was the language he used daily for a couple years) and is not clueless at all. He has also done a few PeepCode screencasts (Ruby, Sinatra, jQuery, Mercurial, Command Line, vi, ...). The problem is John Siracusa, who basically knows too much.
- ruswick 14y agoDan does know a lot about development. But compared to people like Marco and John Siracusa, who know about everything, Dan seems to take a back seat to the other co-hosts.
- damptrousers 14y agoYou realize that Marco and John are often wrong, right? They're bright guys, but it makes no sense to worship them.
- alwillis 14y agoDan is a smart guy; however, he doesn't have the in-depth tactical knowledge about how Apple works. Some of his questions and assertions about Apple are naive, which can be frustrating to listen to at times.
