Lessons From the Science of Nothing At All, from Richard P. Gabriel, no date given (old enough to say Netscape was making lots of money, young enough to tout Extreme Programming)

Citation added: January 12th, 2007, 5:12 am

Citation added: October 12th, 2005, 6:06 pm

Citation added: August 5th, 2004, 2:31 pm
Eric "AbiWord" Sink eloquently expresses some thoughts on what's wrong with Paul Graham's idea of a "great hacker", and accidentally explains why Smalltalk and Lisp haven't taken off. He echoes my own point of view.
