oh, interesting, youtube has moved to an "only show significantly upvoted comments, kinda hide the rest" model. Good call.

r @dswersky no, replying to random emails makes him seem crazy, capricious, and arbitrary. Just like Apple itself.

FYI -- our automated build system ain't gonna pull from a random dev. It's gonna pull from central. Which is hard when central is down.

there's no avoiding that central hub in the wheel if you work with people remotely. Pure "distributed" is a bit of a fantasy.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
it's sort of telling that when our "distributed" source control is down, it kinda.. prevents us from working in practice.

@10thApeRag dude I think the IPHONE is too heavy. Yes, I am a wuss, but still.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
I like what the iPad *represents* but the current implementation, not so much. It's just.. OK. I am sure v3 and v4 will be amazing.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
my official verdict on iPad is a resounding "meh". Too heavy, too low res, aspect ratio problems. Wait for V2, like iPhone.
