A well-written satirical post knocking some stuffing out of the guy is A-ok in my book. Zed's obviously bright, but he's an asshole about it, and as much as he says he writes the stuff he writes just to get change happening, he revels a bit too much in the controversies he causes.
I hope when Zed is done with Python he will turn to Erlang.
Now THEN will be the time to watch HN front page.
