Sounds far too simplistic. Some people are born arseholes, some blame the world for their bad lot in life, others still take pleasure in causing problems and generally trolling. Finally a small honest few may derive their chip from personal

Some people have massive, powerful shoulders. And they need them. To carry that chip on their shoulder for so long. Whether their personal chip is racism, sexism, or any other -ism, their chip is the real problem. So, how do we stop them fo

C or ASM? You do realise on this site those languages dont exist, only Ruby, Haskell, Bracket-o-lisp variants, Go, Rust, and any other brogrammer ready shiny shiny. I didnt forget to add JS to the list - i dont really consider it a language

isn't this the whole schtick for slackexchange? Answers for lazy programmers? Paint by numbers, google by functions. Both result in a seemingly finished product, created without any understanding at all!

You are missing what he is really saying. He saw the tools available, liked some aspects of them, was even able to use some of them reasonably compentently. But, he realised early on that our tools are limited, they have problems, they can

Upstart although being first was never going to win against the marketing forces behind systemd. In the old days, tech was evaluated on technical merit, today the slickest marketing hucksters win. Yet another piece of lennart-ware to bring

So you acknowledge today some people do already leech as you put it, under the GPL. It may be a violation, and the other party may laugh as they are in a different juridiction. So, what was your point again?

You think that people don't leech on the GPL? Great, then I have found just the customer for some snake oil! There wouldn't be the whole GPL violations thingy if people were not already taking without giving under the GPL.

if you are using Ruby for any performance sensitive task, you are doing it wrong. Really. Even the die hard fans acknowledge they use it for the meta-magic-shiny-shiny rather than something that complete a given task in a reasonable timefra

In the old days people thought about design, the wrote software, they supported their product. Nowadays all the wannabees think installing a metric ton of shit from npm or the gem equivalents makes them a super productive brogrammer rock st
