agree w/ liking "curmudgeonly" js when Crockford got vocal: at a time when only ninjas were allowed to pee (and to pee, of course, a ninja stands up), he was like, "no, quit these 'ninja' antics, kids, and just be decent programmers".

idk a/b the second comment.. it does appear that's being read into, but w/o context of the talk or intonation, it's difficult to conclude intent. I'd like to think it's not negative.

but the first transcript in the article? the context for that is that dude is not "jacked" or "ripped", flexing on stage like a lumberjack. don't think he's in bad health or anything, but i suspect the first comment was poking fun at himself, mostly.
