Yeah after thinking about it I make it sound like the whole premise of the hundreds of *nix flavors weren't all conceived under basically identical circumstances and that's by no means a bad thing, so I suppose it can certainly go both ways.

Speaking of asshole programmers, I found out the guy that wrote the Learn Code the Hard Way series (which I actually like a lot) is a huge dick, which is disappointing. I dunno what it is about this profession that makes people act like that.

I was going to link to a bunch of examples of his Good Behavior from Twitter but it seems he's made that private now, with separate "news" and "PR" accounts. Ha ha! That's a new development.
