I really liked the part where he compares the Internet with the bathroom wall (though it looks like he was not the first one). While the articles themselves may be of questionable value, I still like the style.

This one made me laugh out loud for some reason not long ago: "Throwing a book of rules at a terrible programmer just creates a terrible programmer with a bruise on their head where the book bounced off"

The irony is that StackOverflow is set to become the premier source of copy/paste code.

Guilty as charged ...

The "but I didn't write that function" argument is somewhat asinine. The API he's provided --- which provides a high-level key scheduling interface --- is radioactive without the functionality he's forgotten about. It's like writing an article about how to build a nuclear reactor to power your skateboard, including schematics, and ignoring shielding.

I thought this article was going to be about the tenancy for mild mannered programmers to write obscene and libelous things in comments, but alas.

I think Jeff wrote an article with similar idea a few months ago.
