Slashdot Mirror
Culture of UNIX and Windows Programmers
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.
Its a Christmas treat for us all!! Nothing like a bit of bitchin about /. editors to brighten an otherwise dull day!

Stuck down a hole! In the middle of the night! With an owl!
And instant entire article re-use as well. Amazing.
They're just being kind enough to make sure we read it. It's early, so my vision is still blurry and the coffee hasn't soaked in yet. Wouldn't want to miss a story just because it wasn't on there two or more times.

Just one indiscretion and you get called a whore!
Be excellent to each other. And... PARTY ON, DUDES!
But in Soviet Russia, karma whores YOU!
Is 'pathetisad' a word?

I wonder if it's the same story again... :-)
some subscriber may tell us while she beats the rush
"Culture of UNIX and Windows Programmers"
or
"Explaining The Windows/UNIX Cultural Divide"
personally I'm leaning toward the latter.
Cheers.
Maybe if the edtors weren't such cheap bastards they would have bought a subscription and seen what the next story in the queue was going to be.

Hear hear! Too true. You'd never see anyone do anything like that.
Funnily enough, I wrote some more insightful, interesting and funny comments about this article here :o)

Poster 1: "Wow that was a dupe"
Poster 2: "Hey everyone, this is a duplicate"

etc... ad nauseum...
Pot, Kettle, Black.
First, it's 'tuple' you tool.
Second, I posted in a totally friendly manner, your comment is entirely unwarranted.
Based on the above 2 points I now must conclude that you, sir, are a fuckwit. Good day.
No Comment.

/. Besides, CmdrTaco actually read Joel's article. He took to heart what Joel said about the difference in writing styles between man pages and Windows help files.
No. This is a special case. This story is extremely important. It mentions Eric Raymond, Linux, and even
The net will not be what we demand, but what we make it. Build it well.
Perhaps that code would have no use to other programmers...
You accidently posted this replay in the wrong place. This story is about slashdot dupes.
