I know the title references the code’s age, but I didn’t post it because of that. I was busy reading the full 3 part article, and found it fascinating.

Looking at the Apache 2 license, it seems like they want to take ownership of your trademark and monetise it. Otherwise they would simply fork it and get on with making their changes. I would point them to the license and ask them what issues they have with it. Expecting you to simply give them control over your copyrighted work is outrageous, especially if you didn’t do it on company time. It’s probably best to get a lawyer to look at your employment contract if it’s unclear how far they think their control and ownership extend.

I don't like dark mode.

So he's saying you have to have OCD to get anywhere, because that's what collecting bus tickets, or spotting trains is. It's a disorder. Calling it a theory is quite a stretch. And tacking on a bunch of "things" the theory says, is just stabbing at the dark.

"An obsessive interest will even bring you luck, to the extent anything can." - how I'd categorise the entire article. Ironically it's also an accurate categorisation of one's involvement in the Y Combinator Seed project: "to the extent anything can".

Let's encourage everyone to develop OCD for things that matter. Good luck with that.

What annoys me about Apple, is that clearly their time is valuable to them, but us paying Developer Program members are forced to waste days worth of business hours hunting through their appallingly maintained "documentation". And that really pisses me off.

The Art of Unix Programming looks interesting, thanks!
