Funniest Twitter conversation (ft. @wood and @sam!)
-
There is absolutely no valid reason to be offending people on the internet. That guy didn't help anyone with his ramblings.
Yes there is, and nor do you.
-
It's weird that I write a lot of free code and the only complaints I ever get are "why did you write that" and "you have too much time on your hands", never anything about the actual functionality or coding style.
From this, I can assert two facts:
- The code I write is bug-free.
- The code I write is useless.

You're crazy.

OMG FLAGGED FOR OFFENSIVE!!!!11!1

That's all it takes to be able to criticize Sam for it. "It's a shitty movie, it has Tom Hanks' name on it" is all it takes to be able to criticize Tom Hanks for it. "It's a shitty album, it has Nickelback's name on it" is all it takes to be able to criticize Nickelback.
Some people are missing the point where someone goes.
Oh, it's shitty.
And either, not care what they think.
Or ask about it without blowing up at the answer.honestly i think both of them are behaving unprofessionally in that exchange and that's exactly why i stay away from twitter...
I count 3 there.
Because Jeff goes on to act this weird robotic thing, and when combined with "We're your family now" I get sick cult vibes that place me firmly in the twilight zone.
in that exchange
It was an unwarranted exchange.
Sure, Jakub called Jeff out, but he didn't do so in any way that insinuates he wants a conversation.
Then unrelated Sam comes in and goes for PR stunt.
I don't see how that is Jakub's fault after he drops hint after hint that he doesn't feel the need to talk about it.
It would be like me and you talking and I mention Jeff and then he shows up on my front porch asking why I don't like his blog.
Sorry, I'm only @blakeyrat 's side here.
@sam threw himself under the bus, and all because he has some kind of self-esteem confidence paranoia or something. Then Jeff comes in and just.... acts weird....

Atwood whined about being "misunderstood" when he was "joking" on his blog:
This is the second time in as many days that I made what I thought was an obvious joke on Twitter that was interpreted seriously.
But it bothered me that people, any people, would think I actually asked new hires to put the company above their family.* Or that I didn't believe in a code of conduct. I guess some of that comes from having ~200k followers; once your audience gets big enough, Poe's Law becomes inevitable?
Anyway, I wanted to say I'm sorry. And I'm particularly sorry that eevee, who wrote that awesome PHP is a Fractal of Bad Design article that I once riffed on, thought I was serious, or even worse, that my joke was in bad taste. Even though the negative article about Discourse eevee wrote did kinda hurt my feelings.

The sad thing is I actually agree with him that "closed source lost", the problem is everything open source is shit so now we're diving face-first into a new world where everything is shit. There's no reason to be not-shit, since your competitors who were making not-shit aren't around anymore.
Even Microsoft has dived into the shit. Shit.

That quote made me start looking for this. Instead I found this:
That rant/reply chain probably hurt Jeff's feelings more than the actual article did...

Atwood whined about being "misunderstood" when he was "joking" on his blog:
It's not the fact that it was an obvious joke.
It's the fact that he consistently exhibits hive mind cult thinking, that the Poe's law comes from not being able to tell when he's joking.

That must've been some hard work. Here, have a

I'd like to say something, like
"Why do you feel the need to hold yourself accountable to me?"
But nothing I can think of gets my point across.
Dude is tripping so bad over what other people think.

Most closed source software produced is shit too. But we avoid paying for shit, so you don't hear so much about about the worse offenders.

DiscoDev mentality in a nutshell:
-
Seriously.
I think Jeff and Sam take criticism so badly, they go straight out into paranoia about feedback.
They emotionally crumple or go ballistic when it's negative.
When I first read from sam, he seemed to be the sane one, but I think Jeff is having a seriously negative effect on him.

Really? Then why is performance disabled by default, and how do we enable it?

There is only one version, the Awesome version.
(For Fox definitions of "awesome", YMMV, IANAL, performance not guaranteed unless you pay for support. If you choose to not pay for support, you consent to have @wood shit in your mouth whenever he feels like doing so.)

From this, I can assert two facts:
- The code I write is bug-free.
- The code I write is useless.
The first assertion assumes a fact not in evidence, viz., that anyone actually runs your code.
You cannot determine if code that hasn't been run isn't bug-free[1].
[1] exceptions apply.

Save some time, use Discourse. Then you get to do both.
