So is he, like, the Van Gogh of the techworld or sumthin'?

the timing was off, if terry was born a decade earlier everything would be powered off temple os

everyone tries to wave him off as a psycho but he was a modern wozniak

His teachings will bring about a new age in tech

no, Van Gogh actually achieved something worthwhile

He didn't. It was only after his death that he got any sort of recognition, and mostly because of his life story. The guy was considered pretty much a hack, who only sold one painting because the patron took pity on him. And the rest was family trying to get his gallery out to the mainstream after his suicide.

the only people who care about Terry about people on this board because he was crazy and have woven their own tale about him being a troubled savant

Similar to Van Gogh when he was among the living.

so like pic related?

TempleOS has no value to anyone, programmers aren't as pretentious as artists when it comes to assessing other peoples work, they aren't swayed by the fact that he was crazy and killed himself, it's just a toy operating system

>TempleOS has no value to anyone
Neither were VG's paintings until after his death.

>programmers aren't as pretentious as artists when it comes to assessing other peoples work
You must be new to Jow Forums.

>they aren't swayed by the fact that he was crazy and killed himself
Could say the same about the painter when he was alive.

>it's just a toy operating system
The paintings were considered on par with childish drawings.

spotted the cia nigger

temple os was the only way out of the botnet.

Jow Forums aren't programmers, they're posers, programmers don't care if you spent your life making something if it isn't of any real worth

>because he was crazy and have woven their own tale about him being a troubled savant
That's pretty much the story of Vincent van Gopher in a nutshell. The whole "tortured genius who no one understood" bullshit.

Why are you here again?

Make a programming board with an age restriction and I'll gladly leave

>programmers don't care if you spent your life making something if it isn't of any real worth
You've clearly never worked in CS, especially institutionals.

lol I can't believe Jow Forums actually looks up to this mentally ill hobo

all famous programmers/computer people are famous because they made something of worth, made alot of money, or are loudmouthed whiny crybabies
terry isn't any of those
sure he was a good programmer but making a baby OS just isn't useful to anyone and only noteworthy because it takes alot of time and effort

EWWW YUCKY HE MASTURBATES

FUCKING EWWWWWWWWWWWW, I WILL NEVER DO THAT WHEN I GROW UP

>all famous programmers/computer people are famous because they made something of worth, made alot of money, or are loudmouthed whiny crybabies
Verecundiam error. Fame comes from being able to net people's attention one way or another; whether or not it's rightful. And fame itself isn't a measure of quality or authenticity.
>terry isn't any of those
Yet he has a following.

I never understood the context of... whatever that was. I'm too scared to find out.

The context was that he was fapping to some underaged girl pic from some TV show

well vincent van gogh was basically famous for being crazy but it doesnt work that way for programmers
that's only enough to net you a following on retarded places like Jow Forums

It's working for him, and it works for the likes of Stallman, who's eccentricity is part of his fame. And programmers and software engineers have a reported high(er than usual) levels of mental illness.

>that's only enough to net you a following on retarded places like Jow Forums
And publications, real-life fan meetups, and an exhibit in France.

>Jow Forums
>capable

if stallman hadn't contributed anyhting to computing he'd just be another insane ranting madman, there's plenty of those on the internet
he might be the craziest famous programmer and he's not even legitmately mentally ill, just an extremist

You mean it reminds them of who they wish they were

He was a messenger of God

CIA nigger cattle detected

So Jacques Prévert hum...
Truely a poet

yes, chip.

Why couldn't one of you fags save him? He was fun to watch.

Most schizo people commit suicide... There's nothing to do.

we couldnt save him because people from this very board and people from reddit began fucking with him

More like the Prophet Muhammad of Christian techonology
