Kinda just what happens, when you put a bunch of unpaid, sleep-deprived, |
| 7 |
anal-retentive engineers in a virtual project room and set them all |
| 8 |
about trying to create stuff by tearing apart each others' work products |
| 9 |
and rebuilding them to be "better". |

Open source seems to arrive at consensus by means of a process something |

|
| 14 |
whiny trolling -> |
| 15 |
unfettered troll-feeding -> |
| 16 |
hyperbolic butt-hurt -> |
| 17 |
(optional) finger-pointing and self-pity -> |
| 18 |
reluctant compromise -> |
| 19 |
write code -> (repeat) |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Think of the above as the Open-Source equivalent of the Rational Unified |
| 22 |
Process :) |
