bait 'n' switch to the elliottcable platform
| elliottcable: | I've developed an interesting habit, it seems, over my time as a coder. |
| elliottcable: | I usually don't like the way things are done, in general. I seem to disagree with people a lot. |
| elliottcable: | My solution thusfar, has been to work like a maniac to make myself indespensible in said community; then produce an assload of really useful shit. |
| greyface: | heh tell me about it |
| elliottcable: | But then I go and make that shit require that the people do things *my* way. |
| elliottcable: | I essentially write "coder DRM". |
| greyface: | it's a bit of a problem though |
| greyface: | like, I just can't use most of the libraries out there |
| greyface: | cause when I look at the code |
| greyface: | I'm like, err no - there's a better way to do that |
| elliottcable: | I make the Sugar manager, and the Ruby sugar, and the Regex sugar - and I make them all awesome - but I require that you do things my way. It's sort of a bait and switch. |
| greyface: | lol |
| greyface: | hehe |
| greyface: | a bait to switch to the elliottcable platform |
| elliottcable: | fuck yes |
| elliottcable: | I'm going to quote you on that somewhere, somewhen |
