Ok, ok, it's a classic essay.

However, it's a classic. Not news.

Next thing you know there'll be a front-page article recommending "Godel, Escher, Bach", a trip through the Jargon file, a link to the Scary Devil Monastery group and, hey, did you read that thread where Linus gets into a flame-war with Tanenbaum?

Also, ED is the standard editor! Yeah!



I know, it's even been posted, nearly a year ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=95912

Apologies to showing it to you twice. However, I think the benefit of showing it to those who haven't seen it outweighs the cost of seeing it twice (feel free to down-vote this to negate the karma).


Not to worry, I was just feeling cranky. Posting at 3 AM and all that :)


Reposts after around a year are definitely fair game
