Posted By: admin | 2009.11.12
Google I/O 2009 – The Myth of the Genius Programmer Brian Fitzpatrick, Ben Collins-Sussman A pervasive elitism hovers in the background of collaborative software development: everyone secretly wants to be seen as a genius. In this talk, we discuss how to avoid this trap and gracefully exchange personal ego for personal growth and super-charged collaboration.

The ego is needed. Without it we would have no individuality and only have a ’service to others’ Borg hive mind. In the video they present it as an either-or situation, which is not very intelligent. Actually it’s completely wrong.

wanna know why I’m not a myth??!?!?!
Cuz ….. ok get your “i’m smart too” hat out and your “me too, me too” t-shirt to go with it…..
I’m not a myth because 0 =/= 1
For all you programmers out there…. that is zero is not equal to one.

Ready to be real adults now?
Cuz I still need a sponsor…. AND recognition

Actually, usually code for ‘not equal to’ is usually ‘!=’ as far as I know.

I much prefer to code alone, although i do like to calibrate with certain projects. I can go off and do my own thing, without waiting for others.

I don’t see Linux donating billions of dollars to charity with a genuine heart. I wish I saw you in real life I would burn you.

I always want people to see my mistakes so that I can use them to advance… This is why I attempt to network to as many individuals as possible.
Every mistake is a valuable tool for advancement as it shows how not to do something.

linux donates millions of hours of time. and time is money. In fact development time is worth lots of money.
