- undantag 14y agoI tend to think of him as Zed Shaw's grandfather.
- smackfu 14y agoWell, they are pretty terrible responses. And people expect brusqueness from jwz at this point.
- city41 14y agoDoesn't mean the brusqueness is appropriate or called for. I don't care what jwz has accomplished, basic human decency is something we should all strive for.
- prodigal_erik 14y agoThese people are attacking not only the independence of our profession but their consumers' human faculty for tinkering. IMHO the gloves should come farther off than they have.
- prodigal_erik 14y agoOh, you meant the peanut gallery on jwz's blog, not the app store asshats. Yeah, I wouldn't act like that, OTOH I don't have what it takes to write enough insightful and entertaining rants to become net.famous.
- city41 14y agoActually I meant jwz himself. He's always so self righteous and pompous, which in my book is never something to strive for.

- mister_fister 14y agowell yeah but ... those comments he's abusing are dumb as fuck. he just spent a month porting thousands of lines of low-level system code to a novel architecture. which is pretty hackerly. and the doofuses commenting about it can't be bothered to scroll up a few lines to read why their deep thought has already been completely discredited? it's the failure to abuse that level of moron thinking in the first place that's led to so much of that level of moron thinking.
