Not even sure what to say to that Jean-Christophe, except that here is not the
place. I fully retract my own demonization of socialism per se, so let's back

When developing software together with other people I have always found it saves a lot of time to focus on the intention with the code, what it is supposed to do. I usually only look at the details if I have too. ;-)

Maybe discussions could learn a bit from this? (Even if they are very different. We can't run tests for example. But we can take the discussions further by trying to find the positive aspects of other peoples view.)
