[Fsf-friends] Ankit Fadia : The real picture

[Ajay Pal Singh Atwal]

Ok I may disagree a little here, I do sincerely think fadia may not be foolish or dumb, but his claim to faim may be a little too far fetched and he got more media attention then he actually deserved. 

he built a brand and now selling it, even it is more or less fake. But for a 16 year old, that he was, it was/ is an achievement by his time, atleast we should appriciate that, but nothing more, and the 16 year old, now 20 something, must realise that he has to grow and be more than an ankle biter.

Same can I say about some other authors, though not as bad as fadia, who is very very popular in the script kiddy/ haxor wannbe C/C++ student community, some one with a sir name starting with a **K**, from Pune, author of a number of books on C/ C++ / C++ Projects and pointers and a lot many others. Except for maybe one books the rest need a lot of improvements but he sells.

These people have skills, and should get the respect that is worth to them, but their claim to fame is usually over hyped and more that they actually deserve. But still these people deserver **some** respect and no more.

Sincerely
