Beautifully written post and true on many levels. The art of software stopped being an art once large amounts of capital started creeping in. There are no signs that we're returning to sanity any time soon.

Ok, I get how you might like the ideas there, but "beautifully written"?!? Really?

The goal of writing is to communicate. That means saying what you mean to say ... and not filling paragraph after paragraph with pointless and redundant things you don't need to say.

There is not an English teacher in this world who would argue that was even a well-written essay, let alone a beautifully-written one.
