2006 OpenBSD Hackathon Well Underway

Re:Yeah.

I guess that says something about some of the developers around here....

I gotta say, the AC has a point. I spend 50-60 hours a week writing code because, uh, that's what I'm paid to do.

Pfft! A week?!?

Tell that too the EA developers! [slashdot.org]

Axes?

WTF? What the hell are they doing, then? JFC, it must be fscking nice... No Karma points for them. Bad developers! Bad! *smacks nose with newspaper*

WTF? Contradiction in the Summary!

Yes, that would be called doing your job.

Yeah... and some people also call that **College**

Contradictions in the story?

Let's take a closer look...

First, we have the story submitter saying this: "developers get together and concentrate on communication rather than just development."

And then we have Theo saying this: "developers suspend their lives for a week to focus entirely on just development."

Hmm...
