Look.
I realize that you love Visual Studio,
I don't, though.
@pydsigner said in Is this candidate a genius or a potential disaster?:
Windows
Nope.
@pydsigner said in Is this candidate a genius or a potential disaster?:
TFS
Certainly not. It's trash. It's just less trash than all the alternatives.
@pydsigner said in Is this candidate a genius or a potential disaster?:
Office
Office I'm ok with. I wouldn't say love.

C#
Kind of, but it gets worse every year as the people in charge of C# add features that break the debugger, or break backwards-compatibility, or embrace harmful open source philosophies.
@pydsigner said in Is this candidate a genius or a potential disaster?:
You hate git, I hate TFS.
I hate both git and TFS. Please do not put words into my mouth.
My apologies for not realizing that your definition of "I love <x>
" is "I think <x>
is perfect" because that's not how I was using the verb.

Oh and on games: your blanket statements are invalid.
Ok.

Rip-off.

Never heard of it.
@pydsigner said in Is this candidate a genius or a potential disaster?:
SuperTuxKart
Ripoff.
@pydsigner said in Is this candidate a genius or a potential disaster?:
and so on
I'm disappointed you didn't say "frozen bubble" so I could point out that it, too, is a ripoff.
Of what is Wesnoth a rip-off?
How can you blast open-source games and not be aware of one of the most successfully ambitious open-source games ever?
Did I claim that SuperTuxKart was not an obvious derivative of SuperMarioKart? All I claimed was that I played it a lot [and by extension, that it didn't suck].
I had much more interesting things to do with my life than play stuff like frozen bubble or Bejewelled or Candy Crush or any other entry in that category of uninspiring games.

Do I now have legitimate Steam library?
Huh? Relevance?
I've played big-budget non-OSS games and still come back to the others.
@pydsigner said in Is this candidate a genius or a potential disaster?:
Yes, but if you take a moment to compare the better open-source games with paid indie games you get a much more favorable comparison than if you slam a one-man project for not attaining to the visual might of Titanfall.
You should watch some more of the videos on my YouTube channel.
Convince me.
Now I have a serious question for you: have you ever sat a person down in front of VIM, given them a task to accomplish, and measured whether they could accomplish it? Were they able to complete it?
Yes, they were.
VIM is measurably terrible software from a usability perspective. You're welcome to like it, sure, but you can't call it "good software" because it's not. It's measurably not.
<Ctrl+S><Alt+F4>
is more keystrokes than <Esc>:x
FWIW. That's measurable. I've done things with a few keystrokes in vim that I previously would have written a one-off script for. I don't consider Vim the best overall editor, but I do consider it the king of console editors. Of course if you think that all other software is terrible then it follows that Vim is as well.
