I learned to code from your book Zed. I was disappointed by Jeff's article (Who is usually a nice man).

You wrote this post at a right time with right points. My appreciation is triple-folded. Take a bow, Zed.

Thanks, it's actually something I've been meaning to write about for a while, so Jeff just gave me a good reason. :-)

Thanks Zed! I think that was pretty insightful. You brought a whole new perspective to the "please don't learn to code" issue. Jeff may not even be aware of the reasons behind his resentment, but now he wouldn't need a shrink to find out would he? Thanks!

I think you have already written an even better answer; when I read Jeff's article I immediately thought of this: http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/advice.html

In another reply you questioned people's level of English comprehension. Did you read anything but the headline of Jeff's post? If so, you are the one with the reading comprehension problem because your entire rant has nothing to do with any of the points Jeff was making in his post.

Of course that doesn't matter to you. You got to create a sensational headline and a fiery rant to please your fanboys.

Great respect for your works, in particular the books. But it's sad to see not much progress (at least on the public side) of Mongrel2.
