And that's probably not such a good thing, but at least it helps to keep the signal:noise ratio down a little, overall. But except to the extent that there is a correlation between 'corporate developers' and 'people who post crap code', I wouldn't agree with your statement above. We have a lot of people working for large corporations who don't post crap code, and to whom Christoph almost never promotes an attitude of violence. Looking at Jon's 'who wrote 2.6.23' analysis, I see quite a lot of successful 'corporate' involvement. Anyone trying to defend crap code _should_ be limited in their options, surely? And sometimes, 'corporate developers' do try to defend crap code, because they've made traditional corporate mistakes like developing it all in private and presenting it as a fait accomplis without proper a priori review, and/or haven't budgeted for the necessary time to fix it. -- dwmw2 --
