No, he's just prolific.

Is he actually? He only "has" two projects that anyone cares about to my knowledge.

He meant it in terms of calling people stupid.

Two prolific projects that amount to far more than the vast majority of us of is will ever accomplish.

I suppose "prolific" does not necessary imply breadth or depth.

Prolific typically implies many things. I have a deep respect for linux and git, but neither are really prolific.

Anyway, I thought the OP meant he was prolific in his tirades, which is very true.
