At around 34:30 he admits he's an asshole in the context of slamming other people's work.
For him to jump all over the person above who called him a cock, well, all I can say is "pot-kettle-black, motherfucker".
"I'm busy helping people, you're busy calling me a cock".
Cry me a river. In the video he gets real busy rubbishing other people's work. Not to say he didn't have some very good, honest, refreshing points. But one needs to be able to take it if one dishes it out.
I don't personally know Zed outside of his internet persona -- and to me it seems like he's just a guy who doesn't put up with bullshit. I have never seen a time where he's an asshole to anyone who isn't shooting first. He puts his opinions out there and sometimes those cause flame wars so if you catch him in the middle of one those on Twitter then I can definitely see where people might think he's a jerk.
His tweets are comedy gold though -- highly recommend everyone follow him -- @zedshaw
He's also a massive narcissist and asshole. It is exhausting to hear that he's still drumming up anger over that one time he was right on a GitHub issue.
That's funny. When I saw him being salty and obnoxious I checked the author on the piece, but since it was a Substack and didn't say "Jeff Vogel" I decided it was just a coincidence and I should keep reading since it was a new perspective. Guess not.
