You missed the only five principle authors need to be
credited bit. A
complete nuisance most of the time but it can come in handy.
Read section 4.I.

This "shit"? Good to see you're willing to admit your extreme bias.
Perhaps I'm just more familiar with Guy's style, but this struck me as
colorfully expressed opinion rather than indication of bias. I know a
lot of people find his approach, er, bracing when they first encounter
it. But I'd rather have people honest about (and aware of) their opinions.
Indeed, I think a few of the recent blow-ups would have gone better if
participants were more frank with others and more honest with themselves
about their motivations. When I'm trying to get teams and companies to
behave sensibly, the thorniest problems don't come from people acting
out of self-interest. They come from people who refuse to admit, even to
themselves, what they really want.
