On: Return of the Real Programmer

[jballanc]

I'm sorry, but there are too many exceptions to the rule this author is trying to prove for me to buy into his point. He contends that "Real" (i.e. overtly macho) programmers don't maintain code and don't accept the "wisdom" of static typing because they don't care about the mundane and boring tasks of ensuring code works ---but--- they do write unit tests because that, somehow, shows that they are manly and daring and not that they care about the mundane and boring tasks of ensuring code works?

Huh? This is the second blatantly anti-Ruby post from this blog in less than a week. If I didn't know any better, I'd say they had an axe to grind...
