When I saw the empty repo (just with the README) and before reading the kickstarter page or comments here, I thought it was another vapor.js-like joke as a compliment to the original compiler, which IMO does it very well.

I think this shows a massive change in direction with Google in the last years, when GMail was introduced it came with that "Holy shit that is a lot of space" while every other webmail was offering 10-500MB accounts, they came with BOOM! 5G

I my case I do care a lot of what is being built, what are the expectations of our customers and how happy they are, but I don't give a fuck to the people working with me right now, I don't care about them -- are those you meant?

I come across at least two people every week wanting to learn how to program, instead of giving them a 500-page C book I tell them to go to SO and try to help someone, research on google a random subject/question etc, then they start the re

This is probably why I find the song A Looming Resonance by Wolves In The Throne Room[1] so soothing, it has a white/pink noise track during the entire song, I am sure other musicians have done similar. [1]: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=
