There are really a billion people who (a) read DHH's blog and (b) have the maturity of a middle school student? How sad they must be when their peers turn on "The Wire".
Yeah, I'm just not getting the ticked off part. Could there really be a "billion" blog readers who have never seen Bruce Willis in Die Hard and therefore can't spot the pop-culture reference in DHH's closing quote?
I think you understand the point. Saying things like that on Christmas Eve is a clear attempt to be a lightning rod for criticism.
I guess I'm going to have to email Mr. Kay myself if I want to find this so hard to find quote. Noone on HN seems to know it. I do recall that when I read it at least 10 years ago, I read it "offline". Maybe the goog doesn't know this one? ;)
