Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

Interesting read, I'm curious if he has tried Crystal. From my understanding it's supposed to be the best for analysis.

Black Diamond is Crystal. (Maybe includes some code from Mike but it is.)
