There's this subculture in the computer world, the pinnacle of which is arguably still Eric Raymond's Jargon File (http://catb.org/jargon/html/ http://catb.org/jargon/html/) which I could never connect with it.
- callamdelaney 2y agoThat's kind of what makes it un-funny, there's like 100 repetitions of the same joke. How can that be funny?
- maxbond 2y agoClarification, ESR didn't originate the jargon file. He edited and published an edition of it, but he wasn't the first to do so. "The Story of Mel" and "Sussman Attains Enlightenment" are stories I come back to every so often. There's similar stuff here: http://www.thecodelesscode.com/contents http://www.thecodelesscode.com/contents I sure hope the jargon file isn't the pinnacle. Not because of any problem with it, I just hope we will surpass a collection last majorly edited 30 years ago.
