A derogatory play on ‘Unix wizard’, common among
|
|||
|
|
hackers who use Unix by necessity but would prefer alternatives. The
|
|||
|
|
implication is that although the person in question may consider mastery of
|
|||
|
|
Unix arcana to be a wizardly skill, the only real skill involved is the
|
|||
|
|
ability to tolerate (and the bad taste to wallow in) the incoherence and
|
|||
|
|
needless complexity that is alleged to infest many Unix programs.

ways. It must have been written by a real Unix weenie.</span>” </p></dd><dd><p> 2. A derogatory term for anyone who engages in uncritical praise of
|
|||
|
|
Unix. Often appearing in the context “<span class="quote">stupid Unix weenie</span>”.
