Congratulations Jeff: Spawning a New Process

Congrats, Jeff!

On a slightly related note, your choice of headline reminded me of this little anecdote: http://www.utdallas.edu/~asimpson/misc/funny/child.process

Congratulations, Jeff!

(BTW Is Stallman really THAT... inhuman?)

Yes.

It doesn't take special talents to reproduce -- even plants can do it. On the other hand, contributing to a program like Emacs takes real skill. That is really something to be proud of.

I agree. Contributing to Emacs is hard. If it isn't having to wait for copyright assignment papers in the mail, it's a 1000-message-long thread debating the British vs. American spelling in the docstrings. In the end, having sex is a lot easier.

Possibly not.. http://www.stallman.org/extra/personal.html

Congrats on making a replacement!

Good luck with the programming. I've found the IDE horribly awkward, the API documentation completely lacking, and the debugger to be time-consuming and frustrating.

All-in-all? I wouldn't miss it for the world. Good luck, Jeff.

The core dumps are also a nightmare.

Did anyone not think of that as a reply?

Quick, does anyone know where Jeff can buy an Extra Small Aeron chair??

he's gonna get introduced to a new way of programming
