Wil Shipley is an indie developer, quite well known in the Mac os community. He's pretty bipolar at times and some of his blog posts make little sense but this one is a great post that applies well outside the area of software development and I love the analogy.

Thought this was a minecraft thread. DIGDIGDIG.

Good read though.

+1. I expected to come in here and find out about something called "farmcraft".

I think if such a game did exist, I'd have to stay very, very far away from it. Even worse, 'World of FarmCraft' .

I don't know what I was expecting but having read the blog I'd suggest next time the author saves himself some time and simply writes "I heart Steve Jobs"

Especially after the reference to god in one of the last paragraphs.

there is one miner in this forum

No. He's a forumite who likes to half inch those who work in the excavation industry.

2 music notes walked into a bar

1 music note said to the barman "ill have a beer"

barman says "sorry, we dont serve minors"

A room temperature superconductor walks in to a bar, the barman shouts "we don't serve any superconductors in this bar!". The room temperature superconductor leaves without putting up any resistance.

A Hydrogen goes to see his GP. "Dr, Dr! I've lost my electron!".
"Are you sure?" the Doctor replies.
"I'm Positive!"

An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar.

The first sits down and orders a beer. The second sits down and orders half a beer. The third sits down and orders one quarter of a beer.

The barman pours two beers and says "don't be so annoying".

I thought that there was a thread for jokes already!

Back to the original subject. I found the article really interesting and this part especially proves the point that products come from hard work, not just ideas.



I don't know much about coding (for much, read "anything") and, if asked, I would have said a couple of weeks for that one. I must be really under-appreciating the scale of the project or the scale of the coding involved- or both, obviously.

Two slices of bacon and an egg walk in to a bar. The barman says "sorry, we don't serve breakfast."

(and, as a tribute to the earlier post)

A neutron walks into a bar. It sits down on one of the stools, sighs and says to the landlord 'Look, I've had a terrible day. I've lost my job and my wife's left me because of it. Then my car broke down outside and I've got oil all over my best suit trying to fix it. So I just want a beer and a moment's peace to drink it in if you don't mind".

The landlord pours him a beer and stands in silence as the neutron drinks it, almost in one go.

"Thanks" the neutron says, "I really needed that. I feel a little better now. How much for the beer then?"

The barman looks at him and says

"For you? No charge."


I'll get my coat.
