Culture of UNIX and Windows Programmers

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the get-your-juices-going dept.

bebonzo writes "Joel Spolsky, 'Joel on Software' has an interesting review of Eric S. Raymond's book about 'The Art of UNIX programming'. Quote:"What are the cultural differences between Unix and Windows programmers? There are many details and subtleties, but for the most part it comes down to one thing: Unix culture values code which is useful to other programmers, while Windows culture values code which is useful to non-programmers." About slashdot: "slashdot-karma-whoring sectarianism..."" He's harsh on some points, but pretty on the money. Except about us. Nobody karma whores. Update Note to self, never post before coffee. Yes, its a dupe. get over it.

    I pay for this fucking shit, moron. Every time CmdrJackass posts a fucking dupe, I am getting ripped off here. We have fucking right to complain loudly when the Slashdot editors refuse to get their act together and STOP POSTING DUPES!

    Its not that hard to fix the system to prevent this, but the crew here doesn't want to and thus leaves us readers out in the cold.
