No need to get personal man, relax. |

I'm getting my PhD in Computer Science, and worked several years as |
67 |
professional programmer. In my not-so-limited experience, Lennart's |
68 |
code is clean, fast, and usually does what he says it will do. So, no, |
69 |
I don't "already" know that. You could argue about the overall design, |
70 |
or what goals his code has, but its quality you are the only one |
71 |
questioning it. |
72 |
|
73 |
So again, please, [citation needed]. You still haven't provided any |
74 |
reference to support your claim that Lennart's code (specifically |
75 |
systemd's code) is "poorly" done. |
76 |
