My point was not that Barrabas was in any way right. My point was that for the lead developer to respond with such arrogance about having attended a "top 24 university" really shows a lack of maturity, and inability to "take the high rd".
Patrick could have responded in the exact same way and just left the part out about the university, and he would have sounded like a reasonable and mature person, instead he came off like an arrogant twat.
Just so you know, it was a reference to this quote by Barabbas a long time ago:
Let's take a look as some details: the trio are alumni and presumably met at Rutgers. Rutgers University is not precisely and icon of the US -or the world- high education, precisely. As a matter of fact it barely ranks as the 69-70th in the US among American universities. Ah but what about their tech specs? Not much better. As a matter of fact it doesn't even appear among the 50 top institution of tech education in the world and, likewise, not among the 22 top such institutions in the United States. So "greatest" honors from Rutgers, per se, doesn't buy you a ticket to the big leagues. Besides that, only David actually completed a Master's Degree in Computer Sciences, while Patrick and Douglas are pursuing, as full time students, other endeavors going much more toward other sciences, most particularly Molecular Biology and Biomedical Engineering... not exactly anything even remotely linked to alt currencies development.
There is no arrogance here, simply some comic relief.
