You can't blame long, awkward pauses and the arrival of an "impromptu debugging session" on the act of trying to code in front of an audience. That's like saying all plays suck because of the terrible actors in one that you saw.

Plan before you present.

I use Linux and I don't even use a graphical environment most of the time because all it does is slow me down. (When I do use one, it's Ratpoison.) The most effective Linux developers I know work similarly. I believe this is a large cause of us being "senselessly married to terrible in-group traditions and the status quo". I don't know if you're calling all Linux users idiots or what, but I consider Linux idiots as the people who use Ubuntu and Unity and don't have any idea whats going on underneath. They obviously aren't going to be doing any replacing of X.

I don't care how ridiculous it looks, I think this is an amazing idea. I do not do well in public places and have to find a way to detach every once in awhile or I gradually get more and more irritated. This pillow is a godsend. The next $75 I get is going straight to this.
