"A programmer is at their best being programmer. They aren't at their best being an accountant, or a salesman, or a marketing dude, or promotions director. It's just a waste of their time to try to get good at the things they aren't good at, when the reason we like them as programmers is because of their programming."
Programmers should just program stuff and not worry about who is going to pay them and stuff.
While Mr. angry dude used to be considered some sort of misguided and offensive critic, now has cemented his position as a single-minded and deliberate troll. The only reason he makes his comments is to watch people react and then point, Nelson-style, and yell "ha ha!".
Which makes sense, who else would use "angry dude" as a nickname. He probably has some sort of blog where he yells at other random blogs and then tells his followers how cool he is.
Riiiight... like, how people that used grenade jumping were cheaters. And those who knew exactly how much recoil they got from machineguns in Quake 2 were cheating... and those who realize in certain games that switching to another gun and back is faster than reloading. Ban them all! Exploiters! Those damn semanticker raporists!
Pejorative? Descriptive most likely.
What would you have us call you? "Rainbow pony-lovers"?
You argue in favor of draconian measures:
"To those who whine about draconian copyright laws, why not simply avoid them by not engaging in infringing acts?"
Then you get pissy because someone says that's what you're doing?
Pretty different from calling someone who copied something a bloody pirate. Arrrr matey!
If you read it, the book already exists in your brain. That makes it a copy, and you've infringed on the content of the book. So unless you rip your brain out of your skull and give it to your friend as well, you've just committed raporism.

And if you're a pirate robot that only works under the cloak of darkness, you're a ninja pirate robot. And if you bite other people and turn them into more of you, that makes you a zombie ninja pirate robot.

If the software is so buggy that people start flying off the ground, does it mean people have to expend extra effort trying to stay on the surface?
So, technically, the users failed in making their grenades not go off.

You're obviously trolling immorally trying to apply conversation to a diversion.

It seems you're the one that's SCREAMING HERE.
Kinda hypocritical to try to point to someone else's outrage.
Yours is an immoral outrage.

That's totally not semantics.
"Technically, they didn't make the grenade go off after death, it's that they didn't keep from making the grenade going off."
