I started LPTHW last night and I'm 14 exercises in. And I can't believe the same guy who wrote the most gentle programming book I've laid my hands on...is all about "Programming, Motherfuckers! We fucking do programming, motherfuckers!" You

This guys need 1600 pre-sales to make this happen? (their unit price of the smallest product divided into the fundraising minimum goal) Even if they get an array of donations/sales for their smallest to biggest versions, that's a lofty goal

Any thoughtful speculation about why they said no? It seems to me more like a personal vendetta response from a Facebook-faithful (i.e. anti-Google) than justified by economical reason. A niche social network platform acquired for $100MM? T
