Despite the small detail that Ubuntu was not at all instrumental in the progression of Android, I think that this was a well written piece, and came at a time where Linux as a whole deserved it.


Rubs me the wrong way where people don't give the necessary credit.


As so many do.


And Sublime Text 3 the successor of Sublime Text 2.


And $70 is a successor of 50

Forgive me, but what has "This Developer's Life", and "The Ruby Show" got to do with "hacking" exactly?

I'm using definition 3 from Merriam-Webster, "an expert at programming and solving problems with a computer", and that is the most compatible meaning for this forum.
