I love the demo scene, but the culture is kind of strange. Like I've been fooling around with the C64, and all the tools (emulators, debuggers, and etc) are hosted on source forge, or sometimes this random ftp. The author of the debugger I'm using proudly proclaims that he only works on it when he's fucked up on drugs after parties. The documentation of some tools has lewd ascii art, and etc etc. I appreciate the ant…

>are hosted on source forge Actually i like source-forge, it does not attract the twitter and facebookish folks as github seems to, aka https://github.com/nikolas/github-drama

Quite the leap to derail the conversation into some anti-X agenda.

> a little more professional After witnessing how "professionals" act behind closed doors, the difference is merely a mirage, in order to not affect the business image.

"professional" is entirely about public image. If it's behind closed doors of course they no longer act professional. In some languages that value professionality there's even words built into the language. In Japanese there's the word "tatemae" 建て前 that translates roughly to "public position or attitude (as opposed to private thoughts)" that people hold while at work and they switch it off when leaving the work place/in private settings.

Being professional is entirely about being a good lier.

Can you articulate what the specific benefits would be if the person providing obscure free tools via esoteric channels suddenly conformed to the behavioral norms your wishing for?

Ah...i see, if i like something i have to be anti against something else right? I like meat so i have to be anti vegan right?

Why not just accept that i like something but being absolutely ok with something else?
