Eric S. Raymond, voice of the wanker generation. As someone who writes code for a living and for fun, I'm sick of the notion that ESR speaks for me.

But surely this isn't who you had in mind when you started this thread, or you would have posted a longer rant. Ah, yes. Eric S. Raymond, voice of the wanker generation.
