You think you can take me, I’ll
pay to rent a boxing ring and beat your fucking ass legally. Remember that
I’ve studied enough martial arts to be deadly even though I’m old, and I don’t
give a fuck if I kick your mother fucking ass or you kick mine. You don’t like
what I’ve said, then write something in reply but fuck you if you think you’re
gonna talk to me like you can hurt me.

But I actually have read it and this is one of my favorite parts: Yes, sorry professors, if you can’t get fired for missing a deadline then you aren’t a real programmer working in the real world.
That's right -- and TeX isn't real software, and nobody writes real documents with it.
Zed Shaw sounds like an annoying war veteran. ``Master amateur''. I can almost hear him say: "you can't know, son; you weren't there". But the truth is he hasn't actually been to any wars, he's just a whiny ruby programmer.
Zed Shaw ... he's just a whiny ruby programmer.
Took you this long to figure that out ;) Why is our field populated by people who adore twats like him?

Well Jesus, Zed, if only you realized that "elegance" isn't that simple. And ironically, half that essay could have been cut and the message would have remained intact. "Don't complicate things." "This industry is TOO ENTERPRISE." Zed, please continue to share your wisdom and austerity with us all.
Granted, he gave himself an out. He's an "advanced expert," not a "master." Whether or not he was being facetious there, the fact remains that he himself admits that he is not qualified to talk about this. So this essay was an exploration of an idea, then? No, he says that he's done with that. He's a crotchety old man, after all. So we're left with nothing. One big waste of time.
Fuck Zed Shaw. What is the purpose behind whining for some 15 paragraphs about how there's no one in the computer science industry for Zed Shaw to look up to? What will this teach the community? To make code that Zed Shaw likes? If that -- nary a concrete detail to scrape from that vacant lot of an essay. Sure, there are empty buzzwords to discard -- but Zed, empty is empty. That goes both ways.
