Talking about open source, do you still endorse Paint.NET now that it has officially gone closed source: http://blog.getpaint.net/2009/11/06/a-new-license-for-paintnet-v35/ ?
This is prohibitely expensive even for my āsmallā hobby projects dude.
Iāve seen too many people who are blatantly incompetent at their primary job function (all types, not just programming) and clearly donāt care to think that this would have a chance. A vast majority of people who read this blog are not in the group of lazy incompetent surfers, and a vast majority of lazy incompetent surfers couldnāt be bothered to read anything as long as this blog.
How many lines of code in SUN Java?
Thank you for your blog, I always get some helpful insights from it.

Repeat for all the writing from all the business classes.
And you may want to read the day-care example from Freakonomics (read online free, here: http://www.fictionwise.com/ebooks/b56592/Freakonomics-Revised-and-Expanded-Edition/Steven-D-Levitt/?si=0) before you start letting people pay money for doing something they shouldnāt 
Your next step in ruining our industry Jeff (IT in case you forgot). I canāt wait to your empire collapses.
Iām sorry to say this, but I think codinghorror.com just jumped the shark for me.
It was an interesting read, I wish you luck in your future writing endeavours. Time to move onto other blog-shaped pastures.
Could be an amusing secret santa giftā¦
heh again no posts and last five posts were not so fun anymore as few years ago
heh okay I see SO.com takes all the energy. Although I miss quality content.
I donāt think you know what āfor teh lulzā meansā¦
Speak for yourself, Jeff. Not everybody writes bad code. Everybody makes mistakes and sometimes bugs find their way into our software regardless of the quality of the code. To claim that we all write bad code seems more like you justifying bad code youāve written by placing the blame on all of us.
Shame on you Jeff, Shame
nst> āEverybody makes mistakes and sometimes bugs find their way into our software regardless of the quality of the code.ā
Thatās what bad code is; code that contains mistakes and bugs. Do you have a different definition?
I donāt believe in quality of open source, especially not if the site of opensource server developers was hacked multiple timesā¦

Bad code is code written without regard for safety, clarity, accuracy or efficacy. This is generally due to incompetence but it can also be the result of carelessness or simply not caring about quality. Even code written by the most competent programmer in the world may show bugs due to unforseeable consequences. Software can be extremely complicated. All test cases cannot be foreseen ahead of time.
If you want to call this ābad codeā then thatās fine. How do we distinguish between bad code that is just awfully written and bad code that is due to a rare mistake in logic or unforseeable interactions between software elements (including the user)? Are these the same thing? I donāt think so. Itās the difference between a virtuoso musician playing the wrong note in rare cases and a beginning musician playing the wrong note due to inexperience or incompetence.
Selling absolution? Didnāt the catholic church try that at some point (think back)? It gave me the same lulz.
It amazes me that there are that many people who read this blog who have absolutely NO sense of humor. Come on people!
