The author is a friend of mine, and yes, I find the project very interesting :)

Loved the article.

I would like to say only one thing: once you know _why's way of thinking and artsy way of hacking, calling him a sloppy programmer is unfair and frankly a little bit dumb.

He was a great programmer, he just didn't follow common wisdom, probably because the reasons behind his work were very different from ours.

Considering their taste, they could go with 'pythonista'.

Unbelievable, after a decade some people still don't know how to distribute content. Did they understand iTunes isn't only a software? Total waste.

You might want to follow Avinash Kaushik (hopefully I wrote it right), his blog is quite popular and for very good reasons: http://www.kaushik.net/avinash/ His book, Web Analytics 2.0, is an eye opener in terms of defining your own goals and processes, highly suggested.

I've coded in Rails since forever (0.5) and I honestly don't see how that dongml thing is funny. I'm not even able to understand how it is supposed to be funny, is it the dicks?

For sure I think that a language shouldn't be avoided for something different than technical reasons, and nothing else.

What's funny is that the second comment down here is about office restroom design :-)
