I think once you started programming in "Ruby", you've given up your right to talk about how to program in the right way. Just saying.

- karmajunkie 13y agoI've seen a lot of snide, dickhead comments on HN, but dropping one like that on a memorial thread for someone like Jim Weirich takes the cake.
- auggierose 13y agoHe's dead. Nothing I can say here will affect him in the slightest.
- sweetcaroline 13y agoNo, it won't affect him. But his family will be reading these later and it will affect them.
- auggierose 13y agoYeah. Like the family of a programmer reads HN.
- sweetcaroline 13y agoAs a matter of fact they do. I'm very close with his family, and when I spoke with them yesterday they were looking forward to reading the many threads and posts about him on this and other websites. I can only hope they'll be strong enough to ignore the cruel remarks made by heartless people like you.
- glanotte 13y agoI don't know his family, but with Jim as their relative, I would pray they are wise enough to ignore a troll. Jim was a wonderful man and this little person doesn't matter, neither do his opinions.
- astrodust 13y agoKeep this up and your account will end up dead. What the hell is wrong with you? Is dignity obsolete?
- dspillett 13y agoOnce you've started making comments like that in this sort of context, you've given up the right to be considered civilised.
- timtheenchanter 13y agoYour comment is both insensitive and wrong.
- auggierose 13y agoI have gone somewhat overboard with my comment. Apologies.
