It reads like a rambling. He's pitting Linux advocates against touch technology? I don't even understand why. Android is based on Linux, and Ubuntu has been developing a touch-friendly interface for a long time.

And what does that have to do with makefiles? Is there suddenly some magical "miniority report" touch wand that replaces them? (yes, I know there are alternative systems, but they're generally a new syntax for representing the same thing)

"Absurd" is indeed the appropriate word. Too much of the tech brochure cool-aid...



Forget the details. They are examples. Back up. Make something.


Huh? Like "don't read the article, that's just details, make something!".

But it can't be Linux-based? Or use makefiles?

To "make something" you do need to care about details. At least a bit (depending on the complexity).


No, like read the article and get the point he's trying to make instead of insisting that he's judging one tool against another.
