Ok, no further inputs on the thread which probably means no one's interested at such a level. Ok, one question for you linus based coders. How come none of you have a focus group that deals with who are commiters to code, while other try and create markets or ideas for your work? What is the reason that you are so defragmented into soloists? Do you not see the need to have collective efforts to try and achieve newer levels or either commerce or even code? For me, this is the primary reason for a formation of a C# group/list.
I'm still pretty curious to know about linus, stallman, gnu, minix and have now moved my research to the internet. If I can find that *one sentence* that will give me the motivation to continue typing code when i have those blank days, then I must find it because it has to make sense to me. I enjoyed reading about Minix today and even saw it running well, saw that people are very commited to a lot of code projects out there so what drives them. I looked at the online code at writing a hardware driver, and was surprised that I could actually read the code quite well, whether C or C++.
Now my search goes on the Unics adam/eve tree and the descendents. Why Unix-like is the word used after the 2nd/3rd generation. I'm not impressed at all with the reverse engineering aspects of things that have taken place in the software industry over many years whether proprietary or open or why such is even necessary because this drags progress. But all this is also not limited to just one industry, where ever humans are to be found, this problem exists. But I also know we are at the bottom of the coder chain, so whatever is done out there is what we have to work with, from code point of view.
i actually made an attempt to read that but could not comprehend. your long emails read like braindumps / thought-streams transported into email . perhaps, if you are more coherent and concise, you may get some engagement.
