I would be interested in this if it weren't for the foul language. This speaks volumes about the author's attitude.

If you're annoyed with something, have they even tried bringing it up with Heroku's support team? If so, have they tried shipping this tool that doesn't make the maintainer look like an arrogant troglodite?

I don't think the language makes him look like an "arrogant troglodite", but then I don't have a stick up my arse either.

[huhsamovar]

That's because I pulled it out of you and stuck it up your mother's arse instead.

Clearly you're just a troll, and not someone who's deeply offended by swearing. Hopefully you're the kind of troll who scampers away when outed.

[huhsamovar]

I never claimed I was deeply offended by swearing. I claimed it will ultimately impact the maintainer's reputation and user base. Clearly you're a narrow minded person that can't see the big picture.

Uh, this is not going to impact Tim Pope's reputation in any way whatsoever given that it is a tiny inconsequential project. He is already an open-source A-lister.

And it also shows that he is human and has sense of humour.

I don't see what fucking language you're talking about. Joke aside, I think this is just part of the author's humor, it has nothing to do with being arrogant.

That fucking language was quite mild. Past versions of Linux (don't know if it's still there) used to have a quote from "Heathers" in a comment: "Fuck me gently with a chainsaw", as well as non-quote swearing like "fuck me plenty" and "fuck me harder".

Though when searching for a reference (http://www.ohohlfeld.com/linuxfun.html), I found this (non swearing) gem:

    init/main.c:
    /*
     * Tell the world that we're going to be the grim
     * reaper of innocent orphaned children.
     *

Some software development subjects are best not discussed in front of ordinary people, but it's hard to not make fun of it when you're dealing with a daemon that's not properly reaping it's zombie children...

I always laugh when I see out of memory log messages "kill process xxxx or sacrifice child".

If you love what you do, there's nothing wrong with having some fun with it even when you're frustrated.
