Just to confirm - this is satire, right? You're riffing on people like Nicholas Taleb and Stephen Wolfram?

I'm not completely sure I get the joke.

He also fired a low shot across the bow at us tab-indenters. Unfortunately for him, I :set sw=8, and am therefore out of range.

Haha love it! Was delivering that low shot (sorry!^1) as well paying homage to a great one.

^1 That's a "Sorry, I'm not sorry (:P)". I hate tabs. I rarely go a month without a tab bug popping up somewhere unexpected. We would be better off without them, imo. (Richer too, if you believe everything on HN).

Haha, I hope if it was satire I could write better satire than this. I'm definitely inspired by Taleb and Wolfram, as the style shows. I enjoy their styles, although sometimes I wish they were more concise. ANKoS would be amazing as a 50 page book.
