I have no idea what I am doing.
I was involved in a couple of things, regardless.
(eurucamp, jrubyconf, germany.rb, rubyforen.de)
You end up interacting reading a lot of people of
other peoples writing.
The dark side of Matz
MINSWAN
Matz is nice so we are nice
TRUE?
DST The biggest work program since the invention of time
itself.
Ruby 1.6 release notes. (I was recommended to read obsolent
code from time to time!)
Thu Apr 5 02:19:03 2001 Yukihiro Matsumoto <
[email protected]
> * time.c
(make_time_t): proper (I hope) daylight saving time handling for both US and Europe. I HATE DST!
WHOA!
What else does Matz hate?
Reference counting Sat May 29 12:27:00 1999 Yukihiro Matsumoto <
[email protected]
>
* ext/tcltklib/tcltklib.c (ip_invoke): proper ref count management to avoid leak. I HATE REF COUNTING!!
Multiple inheritance “ Removing the distinction would mean going back
to multiple inheritance, which I hate.”
autoload “ I hate autoload. autoload is one of things
I regret. I’m not positive about enhancing something that I hate.”
What does really enrage him?
Non-free software “ VC again? When can I expect MS
to stop ignoring more-than 10 years old standard? I’m getting sick of it.”
Grading The level of hate in Matz is around 0.001
Linus, which is about 0.0001 micro-de-Raadt.
MIN
Reminder Considerate, non-insulting and fair leadership of projects is not
just feasable, but used and works. You just never notice.
Behaviour radiates
SWAN
A plea Stop defending insulting community leadership as necessary or
constructive.
