Workingmac.com Interview With Jordan Hubbard

Posted by timothy on from the short-and-sweetish dept.

LiquidPC writes: "workingmac.com has an interview with Jordan Hubbard (one of the founders of the FreeBSD project, and currently works for Apple on development of OS X). Questions range from 'How do open-source operating systems compare to closed-source operating systems?' to 'What does the future hold for FreeBSD?'" It's a quick interview, but a good read. Interesting that to talk about the Mac OS now is to talk about UNIX.

    I dropped two points, but that was as a result of starting a DB flamefest and getting -1 Offtopic and -1 Troll. Like you're about to. And me again in all probability.

    But, like the man says, not that I give a shit.

    Pretty shite interview BTW. I take it the submissions queue got toasted along with a load of other stuff then?

    Maybe it was something you said?

    Either that or it was just another result of a shockwave emitted by the collision between mac happy users and the unix tao of old. I suspect the DB wipeout to be just as much a victim of this as your karma. May OS-X live long and shake the foundations of computerdom for many years to come.

    pN: What is your history with the FreeBSD project?

    Jordan: I started it along with three other folks back in 1992. It's grown quite a bit since then and so have most of us as well (too much sitting).

    How come geeks either seem to be really large (as in above example) or anorexic and needing a lot more calories? Is it just that some don't get enough exercise because they're distracted by coding, while others don't get enough food because they're distracted by coding?

    I've read this post before. It wasn't interesting then, it isn't interesting now. Give it a rest.
