Earlier quoted context omitted.
>There is absolutely no altruism in Apple’s free kids programming classes. They are a sales engagement. That's about as ranty as it gets but that's probably what he means.
When does concisely articulating an obvious conclusion become a rant? What makes it a rant? Is it the fact that you disagree? Or the fact that he uses the word "absolutely" ? From the information available to me, it appears to me that there is absolutely no altruism in Apple's programming classes.
I didn't actually state it was a rant, only that the quoted statement was about as close to a rant as I could find. Personally I didn't find it to be a rant either.
