Ted Dziuba Says, "I Don't Code In My Free Time"
theodp writes "When he gets some free time away from his gigs at startup Milo and The Register, you won't catch Ted Dziuba doing any recreational programming. And he wouldn't want to work for a company that doesn't hire those who don't code in their spare time. 'You know what's more awesome than spending my Saturday afternoon learning Haskell by hacking away at a few Project Euler problems?' asks Dziuba. 'F***, ANYTHING.'"
If you spent your spare time with English instead of Haskell, you'd probably be able to understand that. But I'll break it down for you. There are people who don't code in their spare time. There are companies that don't hire these people. The guy in the summary doesn't want to work for these companies. That wasn't so hard, was it?
How did this manage to get modded up? Is it "give mod points out to people who failed English classes" day?
Nice little abomination you've constructed there, but if you're trying to prove a point, you've failed. That's distinctly different from what's in the summary, which is a plain negative sentence which has a relative clause with a negated verb, which also has such a relative clause. It's not even a proper double/triple/whatever negative. As Wikipedia states, "A double negative occurs when two forms of negation are used in the same clause."
