Exactly the opposite is true. I am in no way productive. I am only somebody who want to keep the TALK about alternative ideas open. Whenever I met programmers, i feel the need of unknown amateurs to try out OWN and crude ideas. But than they say: oh - all the others do it like bob, or Fritz. Maybe I should better do it the same way.... This is what makes me sad. If anybody copies each other, variance will reduce. I am reading a book by Edward O. Wilson in the moment, about : The diversity of Life. I don't want you to feel like I would invent something. Sorry. It was Nitsche, not me. It is maybe Chris. I do only work with these programs, playing games and studying their behaviour.
