It's Zed Shaw, so who cares?

I mean, honestly, the writing is so bad that I can't even grasp what he is getting so excited about. Is it because someone just introduced a bunch of vulnerabilities into the MRI? Is it because someone just fixed a bunch of potential security flaws? that's what it looks like in the code, but then I don't get it, what's so bad about fixing bugs??? I think he's trying to say that there is some secret juju going on, where special people get to find this stuff out before others, but Zed never actually gets around to explain why he feels that this is the case - it is after all open source, and everyone has access to it.

Or maybe he feels that the fact that there was a delay of a couple of days between the patches going live, and the actual announcement. Oh noes! It's the end of the world! Quick, sue somebody!

Anyway, I've wasted too much time on this post as it is. Zed Shaw may actually be a brilliant programmer, but considering his complete inability to be more coherent than a Markhov chain generator, I'll never know it.
