what a loving idiot.

but his idiocy aside, git is very bad for large repos. like, really really bad.

It would be funny if the fsf ends up having to use Microsoft gvfs to work on gcc

i wouldnt hire eric would you?

however much code he wrote back in the day, he doesn't seem motivated to write any now beyond int -> bool conversions. then throw in the arrogance and irritating personality and the EEO risk

Never hire an rear end in a top hat, no matter how good he might be (and esr isn't anyway)

I wrote to Eric, advising him that I would not put his patch in that week, because I could see problems with it.

Eric replied, saying

You have no right to do this,
for I am an author of ncurses,
and you are not.
