When are we getting a ZedCam? I think the world deserves to know when Zed is taking a crap.

Right now, find a company doing something bad ass with HTTP and then make Mongrel2 blow their socks off. Then repeat it again and again until I've got something. Either that, or getting a Ph.D. in Education.
Really? A Ph.D. in education? I'm not even sure what that would produce. Maybe a post-post-modern _why.
Start watching Alan Kay talks. He explains.

I'm a Devo fan so as I was reading your last sentence there my brain was auto-completing it as "a post-post-modern man.... 80's-keyboard-riff"

I wish I could exchange Zed-rants for Yegge-rants.
This sounds like the start of another Magic the Gathering type game, only with startups.
My "Fury of Naggum" beats your "Song of Stallman"!
(I can't for the heck of it remember who trolled comp.lang.c in the mid-nineties. Same guy, always went on about assembly etc.)

Just curious, what would be your ideal job? Assuming you want to work for someone and not just on your own projects.

Is this a Heinlein reference?

Zed, you do not want to go anywhere near an education graduate school. All these opportunities are yours except D.Ed. — Attempt no landings there. If you think you've been a poor fit at some companies, you ain't seen nothing yet. Education departments attract some of the very worst students, people pathologically stricken with know-nothingness. The graduate schools then take the more craven among them, the ones that…
Oh I know Education departments are mostly crap. Thanks to Constructivism and the influence of stupid communist dogma from Paulo Freire.

#49Sure hope Zed finishes http://learnpythonthehardway.com/ Such a great primer for pre-programmers.
Agree. Just starting to learn pre-programming - unlearning bad habits from school where every year we wrote the same bunch of programs, once in BASIC, Pascal, C etc. The only thing I had liked then was Logo. :)

You don't understand — those are the good parts
The rest is far, far worse.
Say what you like about the tenets of Constructivism, Zed, at least it's an ethos. I'm surprised that you'd have beef with it — you don't even like Papert's Constructionism?
As easily misinterpreted and misapplied as liberation pedagogy can be, at least it gives the non-subject-matter-experts something to apply themselves at, something they could actually help children with even if they're as dumb as a bag of rocks. It's definitely not a good fit for you, but it's far from worthless.
