Wow. I've often wished programming blogs were more polite, but God how it makes them boring.
"Some people like to wake up really early and use ternary operators. But some people much prefer to sleep in..." versus
"Get up at 5:00, drink your damned coffee and ask people interview questions about pointers or else you're stupid and lazy and you just don't care about your craft."
And then somebody comes along and says "wtf!?! you're the stupid lazy guy who doesn't even program anymore and obviously coffee brewed before 9:00 isn't fresh because the water in the pipes has been sitting there all night."
Now someone has to smash me down saying "Fool! Politeness and boringness are utterly orthogonal" ....
Edit: the code examples were great! by themselves, on a black background, they would have shocked and awed me.
