I agree with you. My point is just that there _is_ a drastic difference between Zed-in-person and Zed-online.

I've hung out with him in person. He is a nice guy in real life, though very opinionated and with an overdeveloped sense of justice. He believes strongly in being nice to people who are nice to him and the converse.

Separation of presentation from content is good, but presentation is a task of arbitrary complexity and requires arbitrary computation (aka a full programming language) to do properly. Many current frameworks are inadvertently used to bring

I think this is a critique of bad organizations more than performance reviews themselves. Most of the points can be attributed to organizational problems rather than problems with the process of performing reviews. A good boss in a candid o

None of the really great coders I know think of themselves as "rockstars" or "ninjas." Usually they think of themselves as senior software developers, and other people call them superstars.

This is really an argument of semantics of "upper-middle-class" vs. "upper-class." Maybe there's standard definition I don't know about. My personal definition is that upper class is "don't need to work ever again." You're right that upper

I didn't intend to imply anything about inferiority. The people described here have a different mentality. They get rich by avoiding risks and cutting costs. It is a slow and systematic process with guaranteed results. Startup people get ri

Joel Spolsky has an excellent write-up called "Martian Headsets" that explains why MS is damned either way on standards issues. http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2008/03/17.html It should be mandatory reading for everyone who supports w

Not really. From the sound of the article, Ebay is moving away from complicated, unique, one-off auctions precisely because there isn't a huge opportunity there.
