I don't personally know Zed outside of his internet persona -- and to me it seems like he's just a guy who doesn't put up with bullshit. I have never seen a time where he's an asshole to anyone who isn't shooting first. He puts his opinions out there and sometimes those cause flame wars so if you catch him in the middle of one those on Twitter then I can definitely see where people might think he's a jerk. His tweets are comedy gold though -- highly recommend everyone follow him -- @zedshaw edit: case and point -- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6806748 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6806748

> doesn't put up with bullshit Unless it's his own, like all the FUD he spread a number of years ago about Debian. Even beyond that, I guess I'm just not a fan of the "it's ok to swear and be harsh to people as long as you happen to be right" approach to life. Look at how kind and helpful someone like patio11 is, without all the vitriol.

  Zed has to do Zed, just like Patrick does Patrick.
