Unfortunately, that's also where most "normal" people are online. Sucks that it's become so commonplace for such obviously inhumane viewpoints to be spouted in public forums, it really makes it hard to have trust in other people
TL;DR for those unfamiliar: the guy (an important figure in programming/Lisp history) argues with himself for a few decades over what's the better of two different approaches to software development: good-enough but hacky/limited/worse software tends to outcompete more complete/elegant/correct software because it gets to market quicker and makes iterative growth from there. Essential reading for anyone interested in programming history, or just software in general.
Really excited to see progress on this, as a Sync refugee it's the one thing I really miss from the app: the consistency of gestures and overall navigation. Summit is very close, but there are still some hitches. Can't wait to see what comes out of this!
I hadn't heard of silver bullet before, that's a pretty cool find. Have you used it much before? I'm curious about trying it myself but want to know if it's worth investing much energy looking into.
