I wasn't trying to be too "gossipy". What I really wanted was for someone to help me find the quote I was looking for?
Not this quote that everyone knows.
I wasn't trying to bash DHH, I even said that it doesn't matter if its a mistake or not but that others do not know its a mis-reference is the more poignant issue.
- tptacek 18y agoNow you're being less "gossipy" and more "insulting to everyone's intelligence", since your original post questions whether DHH is "delusional", and asks if it's "really come to this". You could have just asked the question you claim to have been asking. But that wouldn't have attracted all this attention, now, would it have?
- jhancock 18y agooh come on!! Do I have to put little smiley faces next to ever piece of humor ;). There, maybe I should end all my sentences that way ;). I am very well aware that everyone on HN knows that quote and that it was mis-referenced. The fact that it was ref'd to DHH just added some humor. And some of my closest friends have referred to me delusional at times... I take it as a compliment ;) There, more smileys for you ;)
- gruseom 18y agoI am very well aware that everyone on HN knows that quote and that it was mis-referenced. Then as far as I'm concerned you wasted our time.
- jhancock 18y agoAnd you wasted mine. I do see that somehow its "our" time to you. You speak for the whole community now? But I'm not mad about it. You still can't focus on the original problem and offered no assistance to finding the quote I was trying to find. I thought it amusing that DHH and Alan Kay were being confused ;) If you didn't that's ok, that's how humor works. Lets try not to be mad. You and I obviously woke with different attitudes this past day. Maybe the next will be different.
