You might not be biased. It's hard to ignore Wombat demonstrating context-switching costs that are up to 30 times lower than native Linux. The status quo of kernels is reminiscent of the status quo of programming languages in the 90s. Where

On (1) I point out naivety in particular because it's the most transparent and one of the most shocking. It's what you do not expect someone very capable to be. Paradoxical traits of personality in creative people are common. On (2) MacKinn

Two things people who put 10,000 hours have in common are: - They are naive and believe they can conquer the world - or are discouraged about their original inability and hide it. - They share a sense of destiny in what they do. They can't

One way in which it is comparable is you make up the program as you go along. You do have some sense of what you are about to write. But it's not that clear. You are not exactly sure what the program will turn out to be until you sit down t

Moreover, a container forces elements in it to stay contained while I don't want them to be contained. Why can't get row and span work without a container?

What does this rearrangement do that makes them not be in my face? Twitter Bootstrap has been a disaster for me: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4651506

Why does your web site need to have all those versions? Why can't you have only one version, and someone on mobile will zoom in and out? A web site version with 10 things on the header is going to piss people off on the mobile app regardles

Both of them fail to center elements. They are also unable to keep the proportions set for them when resizing a window. Here's code that demonstrates that: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4652191

I just looked at it and it seems worse. It doesn't show examples of how it does the things it does. You can't even tell what to undo.
