Five-tagger? what n-tagger am I?

G'day:
Kev wrote an interesting article today: "Software Craftsmanship – for CFML Developers Part Six – Interlude – Passion", and I extracted a pleasing quote from it:

If you’re just a 9-5er and/or a 5 tagger [...] then do the rest of us a favour and F**K off

I needed the reorder those two clauses, but it does not alter the sentiment of the paragraph I extracted it from.

Go on, tell me what you really think...

G'day:
I touched on this in the article I just pressed "publish" on a few min ago: "Contempt of court". A while back Kev put me onto this website sayat.me. It's for people to leave anonymous feedback about other people.

It's an interesting concept, and I have opened an account there. You can whine about me all you like via http://sayat.me/daccfml.

To be honest, you should feel you can say anything you like to me to my face (or personally, without feeling the need to be anonymous). I won't take offence, and I could well agree with what you say, or we can make a discussion out of it. But anyway, some people like hiding behind electronic apron strings, so if that's you: here's your opportunity.

Whilst it's anonymous, that doesn't mean it's private. I reserve the right to reproduce anything written there. And I might even comment on it.

One thing I will say though, if you're commenting on what a baddy I am but then stoop to this sort of ad hominem:

you come across as a complete and utter asshole. [...] In short you become a unabashed prick.

Then I'm just gonna observe that you're engaging in the very thing you're deriding me for, however not having the courtesy to say it to my face.

Still: "sticks ''n stones" etc. It's not like any feedback along those lines surprises me or anything. It's just not really that constructive.

But it's great reading, so get into it.
