This is my favorite Terry Davis quote (from his website):
----10/02/13 02:34:50----
I used to drink when I was young. I would wake-up and think about my shameful
behavior and be stoic, I guess. Recently, I've been fighting hard to break-out
of my prison. Ten years? Insanity.
God is perfectly just. Sadly, it's not like I've suffered, exactly. When you
get out of control and call people "niggers", that can't be good. God talks.
I'm not exactly believed. Everybody is cruel and give no clue what they make of
me.
God is perfectly just. The countless generations before me? It appears that I
get my own little principality of which I sometimes seem supreme.
I always die a little inside reading this guy's stuff because it's so easy to see how brilliant he is, and how much schizophrenia is affecting his talent. The worst part is that even he wants to "break out of [his] prison," and it's heartbreaking to see when somebody can't.
I've been following Davis' work for around 5 years now. What he has been able to write, and the proficiency with which he writes it, has in my opinion surpassed all the programmers whose Ruby/Haskell/Clojure dreck always appears on the HN frontpage.
