quote:On that level, it is possible in principle that I could be persuaded by cool features and a winning cost-benefit ratio. Or even if somebody offered me a sufficiently huge pile of money — enough, say, to finance a space program run from a Bond-supervillain-style fortress on my own Caribbean island. But it doesn’t matter. Because there’s an emotional place where I have no give, and that is in is my visceral, steaming hatred of the production system that Microsoft exemplifies. I refuse to support it in any way, no matter how shiny the products look to other people. I will have no part of helping it do to the young, malleable, innocent programmers of today and tomorrow what was done to me and my peers.

raymond is the leading contributor to ntpsec so you can't necessarily say he's been slacking otoh his commits don't seem particularly issue-driven compared to commits in the ntp project. he spends an undue amount of time on small-scale code hygiene and the build system i kinda want him to take a job not just to pay the bills but to refresh his project management skills. as valuable as code hygiene is, someone with his level of exp should be able to take on more strategic improvements rather than piddling around c99 conversion

what makes you think that esr is capable of actually doing anything useful? piddling around with busywork has been basically his entire career.

he wrote the emacs vc driver and has contributed to it substantially over the years admittedly this does point to a pattern in his behavior (spelled out in the cathedral and the bazaar) that he only wants to do work that seems helpful to him as a coder
