Link to the SVN rant?

By his logic you should just write everything in machine code and be done with it...
atomicdog··on Don't Call Yourself a Programmer
>If a Python shop was looking for somebody technical to make them a pile of money, the fact that I’ve never written a line of Python would not get held against me.

>Much of Fog Creek uses the Microsoft Stack. I can’t even spell ASP.NET and they’d still hire me.

A bit presumptuous, perhaps?

Did you know Ken Silverman actually prototyped algorithms for the Build engine in QBasic before porting them over to C? He must have found it easier to work in.

Upvoted the moment I saw the title :)
atomicdog··on Ask HN: Im Looking for a good job, should i learn IOS or Android Development?
Learning Java for Android puts you in a good position to make the jump to doing normal-Java and C# work if needs be. Whereas if you learn Objective-C for iOs you're kinda limited to, well, iOs and OSX work. So if "a good job" is what you're after it might be a better tactical decision to learn Android.
atomicdog··on Minecraft-ish WebGL Demo
I'd love to see this with some collision detection and gravity. Unfortunately I don't think three.js provides this as it's more of a graphics library than a game library.
atomicdog··on Ask HN: My firm wants my home-made project, what to do?
>How should I go about giving it to them ??

You don't "give" it to them... They're out of order if that's what they expect you to do.

atomicdog··on Ask HN: What programming blogs do you read daily?
I'd hate to see this guy's variable naming convention :O

It could do with some undo/redo functionality, ctrl+z doesn't seem to work

Finally, Anti-escape Orbs are a possibility.

atomicdog··on In defence of Objective-C
[[perhaps [[not] a always] that [readable[though]]]]]
atomicdog··on In defence of Objective-C
Yep, no complaints with the new XCode 4 autocomplete. There are also other cool IDE features such as cmd+shift+F á la Visual Studio.
atomicdog··on The iOS App Store: Needles in Haystacks
Would that I had the money to do so...
atomicdog··on "If you're Smart Enough to Use Facebook, you're Smart Enough to Create Facebook"
Unfortunately, yes.

Whoosh
atomicdog··on Steve Jobs Book Excerpt: Why he wore the black mock turtleneck uniform
Not necessarily

>Make the new typeface a cross between Comic Sans and Papyrus!

atomicdog··on Photoshop 'unblur' leaves MAX audience gasping for air
It was rude to be rude to the people paying him to be rude because it appears to the other members of the audience who were not being paid to be rude that being rude and interrupting the talk is acceptable practice.

atomicdog··on Results: iOS Game Revenue Survey
I'd be interested to see the distribution of revenue from sales vs ads.
atomicdog··on "How much does a website cost?" – a survey of web designers
>How much do you charge for a mobile app?

Why are web designers (as opposed to software developers) being asked about mobile applications?

atomicdog··on Textmate 2 - Alpha this year
For "friends and family", however.
atomicdog··on Very cool, but very creepy, open source project
Online dating just got a whole lot riskier...

Bad news for Cher if she ever joins Anonymous.
