'Cause I do believe that putting your face +to be slapped is the way we grow. + + + +I do understand -- and you must have realized reading some of the previous +points when I talk about it -- that privacy is important. For some people, +hiding their real name is important for lots of reasons. + +But I also personally believe that using some weird name and some face that +isn't yours on your avatar may give you a false sense of "that person is the +guilty one, not me" when it comes to criticism. + +I mean, yes, I hate Scala with a passion. I do understand _why_ the language +developers decided to come with some options about it, and I still think those +decisions were stupid and you should never sacrifice readability for +ease-to-use. + +But it wasn't some random person using a weird name full of numbers and an +avatar of some anime saying Scala is garbage. My name is even in this blog +name, in the URL and in every social network I use there is a picture of me. + +So yeah, Julio said Scala is garbage. + +There is another thing about using your real name and real face: I'm not just +saying "Scala is garbage", I have to back that up with some facts -- or, in +this case, personal opinions -- about it. It's not simply an attack to Scala, +is a somewhat thought out attack on Scala. + +And, on top of that, someone will one day come to me and say "Yeah Julio, that +thing you said about Scala: It is that way because of this, this and this". +And I'll probably have to say "You know, you're right: I was wrong." Because I +can't simply move my mistake to some other personality; who was wrong was +_me_. And unless I own my shit up, I'd never get the understanding I'd need to +see my mistake about Scala in the first place. + +{{ chapters(prev_chapter_link="/books/things-i-learnt/time", prev_chapter_title="You Always Have The Time") }} diff --git a/content/books/things-i-learnt/time/index.md b/content/books/things-i-learnt/time/index.md index 1eb6d23..df9f6fb 100644 --- a/content/books/things-i-learnt/time/index.md +++ b/content/books/things-i-learnt/time/index.md @@ -34,4 +34,4 @@ Maybe people think "If I don't finish, it's over".
