Yeah, it's not like he wrote something that lots of people used like... mongrel, for example.
[Edit: This comment doesn't really make much sense now, since the parent updated his comment to note that Zed ALSO wrote mongrel. I'd delete this comment except for reply attached to it.]
- antonovka 17y agoDo you know -- off the top of your head -- who the primary contributors are to Apache? They wrote the HTTP server that runs the web. [Edit] Why is the reply nonsense? The point is fairly clear -- there are far more established, widely used, complex and important projects that do not have such vitriolic personalities attached. Zed Shaw's known for his blog posts, not because of any proportionally notable contribution to the open source community. (The original unmodified comment referred to this reply as "nonsense").
- nir 17y agoI pretty much agree with you. My comment was on the "online personality" part.
- _pius 17y agoIf one person wrote Apache, you'd probably know his or her name.
- antonovka 17y agoApache (originally NCSA HTTPd) was originally written by Robert McCool. He also drafted the initial CGI specification. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_McCool http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_McCool http://www-ksl.stanford.edu/people/robm/ http://www-ksl.stanford.edu/people/robm/
- _pius 17y agoCan't argue with that!
