Because how are people supposed to know you are making a subjective/qualitative judgement? It's too easy to mislead people, and too many people profit from taking advantage of that.
A true argument can stand on its own.

If anything I'd bet that the 'fiefdoms' have quit warring as much?

Until those companies apologize to every existing employee, I have absolutely no loyalty to them.
If they can't even let the free market decide the value of the programmer why should I have any fucking allegiance to any of them?
I can only hope she and others get the competitive salary they deserve.

Ah, wrote before the edit.

Seriously, what the hell is the point of even creating something like webgl if a key feature for immersion is kept out?
It's like building a car starting with the frame.
God speed to whoever is fighting the good fight on those frigging w3c boards.

I used to have that opinion.
Than I realized I'd do anything if it helped me enjoy life more.
I mean honestly, when my sleep starts getting shitty I start changing things in my life. Quitting jobs, taking breaks from relationships, creating new ones, trying new programming languages, anything.
Burnout can be fucking terrible, and I will give up every possession I have before I endure that again.

This prisoner's dilemma has one round with different rewards.
Also, don't correct people with 'you do realize' because it makes you seem like an asshole.
gringomorcego | 13 years ago | on: Judge Posner: U.S. patent system out of sync
Patents and IP protection are a sovereign prisoner's dilemma.
Good luck with that, USA.

I thought they were working on it, but they have done a massive amount rewrites?

Very interesting.
Reading this stuff kind of makes my heart swell up. For anyone who reads cypherpunk stuff knows, this is the techno nomadic dream.
No big corp, no real worry about money, just sharing with the community.

Dude, that kind of thinking leads you down to 7 Pounds.

Uh, so it's okay for the US to wink wink at Amazon, Paypal and numerous other financial payment providers when Wikileaks comes to play?
You sound like a true apologist. This stuff matters, it affects people's lives, and it it has NOTHING to do with ROI. That's a bunch of BS.
This has to do with favors and stancing and has absolutely nothing to do with profitability or providing a service.
I'll show myself the door when I hear about how many chargebacks the VPN was getting.

Hey, as long as they have founder shares, im all for whatever your gung-ho routine entails

One depends on a spellchecker?
gringomorcego | 13 years ago | on: Cue: The 10 hour scramble to launch two days early
Putting up with that shit is fine when you have founders shares. If you don't, then get ready to clock out and iron the hawaiian shirt. Expecting the engineers to just deal with this is prebuscent.
gringomorcego | 13 years ago | on: Cue: The 10 hour scramble to launch two days early
anyone want a dish with ad hominem and a sprinkling of superiority?
You're right, moe probably hasn't shipped anything. I haven't either.
But that doesn't mean that it's okay for you guys to treat engineers like this. Because one of them might just realize how undervalued and mistreated they are, and think about starting their own comapany...
