> I wished people would use software based on merits, not on popularity. this. so much. but "social and signaling effects" and "mindshare war" instead. sigh. what /is/ true, though, is the quote from the linked article: "All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection... Except for the problem of too many layers of indirection." anyway, in an attempt to return from the hopelessly abstract and say something cogent about hip technologies and the article at hand, umm... i wonder how bzr runs on pypi?
