- pasbesoin 14y agoFair enough. But a reader not familiar with this is going to wonder. (Maybe none, given that this is in the ACM Queue.) Maybe the following edit? "Thirteen years ago, Eric Raymond's essay and subsequent book The Cathedral and the Bazaar (O'Reilly Media, 2001)..." P.S. Done reading now. Enjoyed/appreciated your essay. Amongst other things, perhaps useful for the younger / newer to the technology generation to appreciate where this "configure soup" comes from.
