Unnatural acts on source code

I don’t think that I really get commercial software development

This is from the NH Prof bug tracking:

One question, why are you still using windows/.NET/C# as your development platform? You still need to buy Visual Studio, SQL Server, Windows etc. You should go linux/mac(exception) with ruby/python/java etc. I love your work though.

Junior Programmer,

You completely missed the point of this post.

I realise that, I just don't get it. I see what the message implies, but

what was the original intent of it? Where is the double-meaning? I just

can't see it!

Maybe you should stick to writing code and let a volunteer write your jokes? :-)

This if for the NH Prof.

People wants to be able to use that with their app. And deploy that.

The problem is that then you run into licensing and redistribution issues.

Instead of getting paid a redistribution fee, I documented how to do this without using any of NH Prof code, hence no redistribution fee.
