It’s a must-read.

The culture of “air guitar”: http://tekkie.wordpress.com/2008/06/10/the-culture-of-air-guitar/

That got me thinking, the people that we all think of as the “really good programmers”, are they Jimi Hendrix

or just Thad Jarvis?

I read up on CALL/CC and DYNAMIC-WIND last week after I got my ass seriously kicked by Edwin’s terminal code. I think I’m starting to grok it now, but I’m not sure if I know how to write that code all by myself.

I sure hope this is not just more Air Guitar gesturing.
