Love and care of artifacts

[Som Snytt]

Twitter sends me emails, like this one:

Carl Byström @cgbystrom

If only developers wrote commit messages with same love and care as code.

This may be obvious to everyone, but s/code/paulp/.

paulp commits make archaeology fun again.

I thought maybe Carl was part of the Scala ecosystem on the Akka side (because of the two dots), so I consulted his blog.

He riffs on David Pollak's view that Scala is a measure of something, like taking calculus.  He adds that this is so important to the Scala ethos that the spec should say, "Scala differentiates good programmers from the rest."  And in an appendix, "Since you have read this far, you are either a good programmer or a good reader."

I made up that last bit.

I honestly believe that everyone, no matter what sins they have committed in the past, deserve to benefit from Scala.

Full disclosure:  When DPP said "Zed Shaw," I went, "Like Scala Zed?"
