A critical factor in open source success is “it’s better than what was there before” which, fairly often, is “nothing”. | Tagged: Tweet
Am I officially insane? Should I write my resume in m4, with various output rules to publish LaTeX, RDFa HTML, and text from single source? | Tagged: Tweet
#googleos proved Richard Stallman right at the $500 price point versus the $pricepoint. RMS didn’t predict HTML5 or JS’ leaps. | Tagged: Tweet
Writing m4 is like LISP except you get annoying quoting issues as a bonus to parentheses stacks. | Tagged: Tweet
