As many other open source project leader, Matt is a nice and wise guy. He knows very well how to manage team of developers, how and when to deliver product to the end users, including take an action of any feedback from them.
There’s a part on that inteview where he shared a funny story behind Akismet, anti spam system for blogosphere. Some time before he released Akismet to public, his mom gave him a visit to San Fransisco and lived with him for five weeks. Until at certain point when she decided to make a blog of her own.
Worrying his mom would also get spams offering porn site and would think this as what her son’s doing all the time, Matt pushed Akismet’s team to make a release version as soon as possible. 🙂
Apakah Matt yang di sini adalah Matt yang disebut-sebut oleh rekan Luthfi yang kemarin sempat kehilangan blog-nya?
Ya, Matt yang sama dengan yg dimaksud Luthfi. So?
