How to make people who care about quality software run screaming from your work

This line, from Dave Winer (Gee, THERE'S a shock), ensures that not only will I never use his new toy, (not that I had planned on it, since I am the last person on the intertubes not using Flickr), but that I will never, in the future, voluntarily use any software he has had any sort of direct influence on:

I'm going to try to add one feature to FlickrFan every day.
I cannot imagine that kind of thinking...it's like a version of a bad commercial from the 70s: A sprinkle a day, helps keep smart people away...

That line just gives me the fucking willies man. Tell me again why people still kiss his ass? RSS doesn't cover THAT much.
