OpenBSD developers are autistic and psychotic?

Fuck off, and die.

Relax, there is no reason to get so worked up about a little trolling. Someone who just two hours ago told us that his favourite tools are emacs and a terminal emulator certainly doesn't have any weight in the anachronistic tool debate.

Most people are unaware of the OpenBSD workflow, and cvs commits are only the final step in it. There is little "active" development done with cvs. It's for the most part used to commit already reviewed patches. Plenty of developers seem to manage their patches with other systems, including git.

That should've been your hint that I have an admiration for them and their project.

>>it proves that a psychotic mob of minutiae obsessed sufferers of Autism are capable of incredible productivity in spite of anachronistic tooling

You called the developers a psychotic mob of Autism sufferers. A hint of admiration, you say?

I'm not sure mere mortals can really implement secure cryptosystems.

The only normal/personable coder that could is probably cperciva.

OTOH, you have Theo.

shrugs Point stands.
