We had quite the debate today in FESCo regarding a proposal to only allow ASCII characters in RPM names. I'll refrain from rehashing that particular pain, but I had an interesting revelation from the whole ordeal. I'm sure this will not be new because hardly anything I write is new, but I found it quite interesting that the passion people have for various things both enables and cripples them at the same time. If you think about it for a second, the same passion that causes a developer to spend hours tweaking and reviewing code to make it the best possible is also responsible for them debating the most trivial details in a 200 email long thread on coding style.
Unless of course, they're simply being paid to do that. I wonder if I could get paid to just do email. But I digress.
Parental tip #27
Do not let your 10 month old son chase after the broom while you sweep. He will grab it right as you are bending down to get the dustpan, thereby causing the handle to jab into your eye with great force. He will then think this is hilarious as you walk around for 10 minutes looking like a pirate because you can't open your eye or stop it from watering. |
