If it means anything, I've worked with the OP and he is a very kind, cooperative and fun person to work alongside. You come off just as judgmental as you're making him out to be.

In fairness the opening line does scream "set in ways" to a degree that would put me off a little. Not to be judgemental but I wonder if people that do work for Zarathu for the first time might have trouble communicating if this is his usual style. And as a result dont get chance to build a working relationship. It happens a lot. I personally like direct people but plenty don't :D

  My opening line was satirical. I hate text editor arguments, and the Rails v. Django thing is really old, too. I've used both Ruby and Python, vim and TextMate, and they're all great. You just need to use the right tool for the job.

    Heh, I apologise :) I read the whole thing as one rant. checked EDIT: I do sympathise, finding really good people to contract work to is an absolute pain.

Ah.. That may be true, but all we have to go on are little letters in cyberspace. It's good to know he's different in real life, though.

  Ah.. That may be true, but all we have to go on are little letters in cyberspace. We may as well make sure that we're on shaky footing, then, so long as we're rushing to judgements about people we've never met. Seems like a constructive way to start a conversation. Edit: Really, the sensible thing to do would be to answer the question, rather than rant about how our internal Internet-psychologist has provided us with shining insight into someone who is potentially on another continent. Edit edit: Not that any of this is really directed toward you; I'm just ranting myself. :P

  For now we may only have little letters. But soon as it is adopted, HumanMarkup will revolutionize online communication: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=humanmarkup http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=h...
