love this version. Been coming cross all kinds of different "shit * say" lately and most of them were pretty pretentious. Love how this video depicts programmers as people who valu…

I was wondering if it was just me or if there are actually a lot of people reading off of the HN firehose on the "new" page (http://news.ycombinator.com/newest) For example, my eve…
