[9fans] Off topic: Linus rants against GCC-isms

Hi All.

Although this group in general doesn't like Linux, I think most of you
might enjoy his rant:

27472

FYI, try googling "linus you don't need to understand programming". The link keeps taking me somewhere completely unrelated.

I had that, but a line break before the 27472 was the problem for me. Try this:

http://gizmodo.com/you-dont-need-to-understand-programming-to-appreciate-t-1739927472

But totally unrelated? I think not. Clicking a link on the “wrong” page sent me to “The 9 language monologue” by “a person who speaks 9":

and yet i look at the linux kernel my rant mirrors linus'.  it is probablly
bad code, and self-righeous indignation about other people code all the
way to ken's door.  and if we were honest enough and iconoclastic enough,
we might find something to complain about there, too.

let's face it.  programming is hard, and we all suck at it.

by the way, this is about gcc insofar as the mistake is feeling the need to
use (and provide a wrapper for, in case of older compiler) some shiny new
feature of gcc.

a further by the way, the link got word wrapped and is
