Interesting. I never thought about it as a “dick behavior”. But then,
I never thought about _why as an online persona, I thought about
_why as a piece of online performance art.

I’m a real freshman to the Ruby community. I know “Why the lucky stiff”
from
the chapter artworks in the “The Ruby P.ming Language” book and
from
his (?) guide to Ruby. Aside, he seems to be a mystery, maybe even to
the
people that make up the Ruby Community.

Now, that there’s some sort of opinion war going on, I’d like to ask a
very
simple, perhaps very stupid, newbe question: Who is “Why The Lucky
Stiff”,
why is there some sort of celebreation day? I mean, he must have done
something extremely remarquable. I don’t know about a “Matz Celebreation
Day”, for example (correct me if I’m wrong, I likely am).

So, no offense intended, who is/was this “Why The Lucky Stiff”?

Thanks,
Eric

He also had a youtube channel with three videos
