I kind of marvel at Randy's reasoning there: * Darn, the project is getting better and merely displaying a bad attitude isn't going to suffice. * I know, I'll make sure the demos to management fail, that should get it back off-track. * wait, that won't be enough to derail actual development, I need to screw up config files as well to inconvenience everyody * oh no, if nightly builds run I won't be able to claim plausible deniability for these problems above, I need to make sure those don't run either * Argh! All these activities are getting harder and harder to conceal, I need to… delete the version control repository itself!
I mean, this is the kind of plan of which a jäger would say (approximate, can't access webcomics like Girl Genius from work) "Wait, this starts sounding like one of those plans. You know, the kind of plan that ends with you losing your hat. And any plan where you lose your hat is…" "A bad plan."

Some people believe there really is a "language war". They blindly fight it regardless of the personal consequences.

Reminds of a guy I work with who insists that oracle is evil because he can't write a SQL statement to save his life.

Just because he is incompetent does not mean he is wrong. IMHO Oracle IS evil -- and I am competent enough to be certified.
