KDE's fortunate to have David Faure on the team
by dingledongle on Saturday 02/Feb/2002, @19:32

This paragraph really jumps out from Philippe's discussion:

Discussing with David Faure, I told him about some complaints I had about Konqueror : the profile setting should be in the settings menu and the URL bar should accept URL drop by replacing the current URL. Then I saw this magic thing: A live coding session by a true talented KDE core devloper : David took his laptop and started coding under my eyes. In five minutes, it was done: the "URL" label would accept url and just open them. Really great! He did that again on the next day, when a visitor asked for the domtree plugin to support copy/paste of every branch. Really great.

Yes, Philippe Fremy apparently thought so too (it's in the article descrip :-)

Actually, I added that quote myself, but I didn't re-author the article because that's mostly all I did.

What is reassuring is that he hasn't done anything I wasn't able to do. He just did that a lot quicker.
-> he types quicker
-> He knew exactly which file to open
-> he had the function after three seconds
-> he had to open the qt help for whatever reason
-> he already knew how to use KURL
-> he patched
-> it compiled just fine.
-> it ran just fine.

It helps when you know your application and most of the KDE API.
