He's an opinionated guy, but I would like to hear why he felt that way. You really don't have many people who have seen as much as he has, working in the video game interactive industry, then the web, then taking several major architect roles at massive corporations. It's worthwhile at least hearing some of his reasoning, especially since he no longer works at Yahoo - and thats what his whole speech was about ( what he would do to "fix" Yahoo ). I don't think he's hatin just to be hatin.
Also - not sure if he's quite "senile grandpa" age, but that clip did make me laugh. I'd put him at late 50s, maybe just turning 60? He worked at Lucas Arts in the 80s-90s, I would guess he was 20ish then - i'd put my money at 25 circa 1986, making him 59 now. Any other bets on his age? :D On Sat, Sep 15, 2012 at 3:52 PM, Marak Squires <[email protected]>wrote: > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARXfQzfl9EQ > > > On Sat, Sep 15, 2012 at 12:42 PM, Marak Squires > <[email protected]>wrote: > >> Crockford is like your JavaScript Grandfather. >> >> Be nice to him and smile and nod when he tells you stories about when he >> use to wear an onion on his belt, which was the style at the time. >> >> >> On Sat, Sep 15, 2012 at 12:39 PM, Alan Gutierrez >> <[email protected]>wrote: >> >>> On 9/15/12 10:45 AM, Jorge wrote: >>> >>>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?**v=8HzclYKz4yQ#t=22m30s<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HzclYKz4yQ#t=22m30s> >>>> >>>> "I would fork nodejs.
