GrueFiend··on Cindy Gallop’s Online Effort to Promote ‘Real,’ Not Porn-Fed, Sex
Easy, willing to sleep around, kind of trashy: all the hallmarks of girls many boys in high school secretly were okay fantasizing about. I fail to see the virtue she's advocating. This lady (anyone else thinking "blecch!"?) hasn't reigned in any vice or made this world a better place.
GrueFiend··on The 2 Biggest Mistakes I Made When Learning to Code
Knuth hath said: "A person who is more than casually interested in computers should be well schooled in machine language, since it is a fundamental part of a computer."

I agree with that sentiment. The whole "focus on what works" is not the same thing as "understanding what the hell you're doing."
