This was hilarious. So good that it's difficult to tell which is the most funny. I think the pico editor takes the cake. Thanks for brightening my evening.

Or how many more test frameworks you could make! Or Lists of test frameworks! Two birds, one stone!

ed? why would i use that? that requires work. 2010 is all about bringing lazy back.

pico?! surely you meant "ed". ed is the standard text editor. When I edit text, I just want an EDitor!! Not a "viitor", not an "emacsitor", not a "picoitor". Those aren't even words!

Since I've already written a ruby test framework http://bit.ly/5jpwOQ, I'm going to write program in Factor using pico that generates a list that refutes all of your points and put it on an RSS feed on my social networking site after googling myself for 21 hours in the hallway of RailsConf.

I need to add these ideas to my current list of things to do.

I'm not one to argue on the Internet, but shouldn't you be exposing a SOAP API for your showering app?

Oh, and we need something that makes Rack simplier!

I'm not sure about the last point, I'll try hard to work 10 hours a day but right now I'm more around the 7 hours mark. Maybe if I put more work into my social network that I'll put online 2011 I can make it 11 hours. But that's the max. I need me super-fun-time (at the pub).

Make your Google Latitude public and consider No. 6 done.

That's ripping the mic right there.

I'm coming back into writing again. Sometimes we write blog posts for
ourselves, and sometimes we write for others. Things that may
interest you are coming because all of a sudden writing is interesting
for me again.

I usually enjoy and find your blog posts helpful or interesting, but that was just inane.

Please don't hate me though... I wouldn't bother commenting if this was just a random blog, but I look forward to your blog posts, and I think you can do better. How about some more screencasts?

There's a lot here that's that I covered in my Aloha on Rails talk, it was more directed at boutique software development similarities and the "backpack rap" you mentioned here. Hopefully Seth will put the video up one of these days. :)

Wait a minute, "We haven't had a best year yet."

That's like saying "No array has ever had a first element."

Put my vote in for 1993. Quest, Wu-Tang, Digable.

bryanl — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 12:49:00 -0000

Personally, after thinking about it a little bit more, 1993/1994 were
my greatest years. But you are right, I meant to put 1988 rather
than 1989. I'm going to change that now.

Re: Programmer vs Rap Star

jjulian — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 12:43:37 -0000

Interesting analogy. But I disagree on one point - 1988 was actually the greatest year of rap. http://www.amazon.com/1988-The-Best-Rap-Albums/...

Wish you a good luck to you. I think you will be successful with your new york. I am eagerly waiting for that.

That video is freaking hilarious. And please continue to pound TATFT into the heads of everyone you meet. Great seeing you at Barcamp Philly Bryan. Hope to see more of you, but not in that way. nm...
