Christopher Warner "So, it's not like the code is my brain; keep it"

Linux Haters

Hah! This blog is great!! It's pretty much for the most part all true. From standardizing to gconf and so on (unfortunately he hasn't done anything interesting discussing gdb yet). These are all valid criticisms of anyone dealing with Linux on a daily basis. The latest Ubuntu upgrade has some serious mutex/futex issues in regards to sound devices as well. Anyway, all this bitching is good; i've done my fair share and hopefully something good comes of it. I suspect though, there will be a lot of talking, much reflecting and then everyone will go back to the same old; that's what always happens. The next step; he'll find much to bitch about in regards to OSX soon; then he'll smarten up and realize it's an industry problem. By then he'll probably be reaching his first "jaded" stage. All you end up doing is working on solutions for your own problems and then moving on with your life. The next stage is to say "fuck all this shit, I don't need this". The final stage is to stop caring; and that's where I'm at. I'm largely and wholly indifferent, if the tool works I'll use it; free or not.

This leads back into opensource projects having process managers and knowing when idealism is useful. Realizing that it's about solving problems and if it's not solving any problems then you don't even have your foot in the door. It's just not about code.
