How's Your Whuffie? Interview with Cory Doctorow

Posted by michael on Friday February 28, 2003 @08:04AM from the whuftacular dept.

Richard Koman writes "My interview with EFF's Cory Doctorow just went up on O'Reilly. The interview is largely about his book, "Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom," but naturally veers towards discussing his view of Disney, programmers, and peer to peer. Then there's this: Doctorow: I think that Disney's art and technology kicks ass. But one thing you discover in the technology world, especially in free software, is that being a good programmer and being a good person are not necessarily correlated, or at least being a good programmer and being a person with whom other people want to spend a lot of time, who has good hygiene and good social skills, are not correlated."

Take it from me. I live in Orlando, FL. HOME of Disney. Not a lot of people here like them very much. Every other person I know has worked for them in some capacity and HATES them.

  Yeah, we especially hate having all those damn tourists clotting up our state to the point where we don't have to pay state income tax.
