I would love to see how he does lifting some weight on this diet vs. just sitting in front of a computer.

According to his blog he is running on a regular basis.

Completely unrelated to dotcloud, but HN has no "forgot my password" function that I could ever find when I needed it. On that I'll agree that having one is super useful.

So wrong.

I worked in academia for a decade and the code written by Hgrad students is a problem... but 95% of faculty are so clueless about computers they have no idea. And decent grad students know it.

I've worked in physics and chemistry and I've seen this code... It is like a ten year old with cheez whiz sealing your bathroom. It works for a while, but it is not professional code. Smart domain experts know they are just barely passing with respect to coding solutions in their field,

Then why don't professors hire contractors to do programming? Because grad student code is "good enough".

I think a craftsman is entitled to reflect upon his work and profession and not have that introspection be neat an clean for everyone else's consumption.

There are moments of doubtful introspection and unwelcome truths that are insightful and illuminating. Stop and listen to the perspective and perhaps just spend a moment with it... That is want it means to be human.

Spouting of some knee-jerk reaction shows you are not even beginning to listen and haven't begun to hear what this person is emoting. There is a lot more here that is heartfelt and true than simply what is written.
