Let's not be in a hurry to post a contradictory opinion; let's try to understand what an article is really about and what it's trying to say -- I don't see how anything other than the most cursory reading of this article could lead you to the conclusion that it was "bragging about implementing a textbox form in a day". Paragraph 1: The introduction; Spencer introduces the topic of the article (note that "text box" isn't anywhere in this), and why he found it to be important. Paragraph 2: Spencer introduces another, secondary topic, where he explains a common issue encountered by small-but-growing development teams. Paragraph 3: Spencer explains his approach to handling part of the problems explained in the previous paragraph. He isn't fully resolving all of the problems associated with project management, but he's found a particular way of handling one aspect of it, and he's sharing that with us. Paragraph 4(ish): He ties the approach outlined in the previous paragraph into the problem introduced in the first paragraph. Incidentally, this is rarer in the navel-gazing blogger set: he's introduced two topics of conversation and tied them together in just 4 short paragraphs. Good stuff! Paragraphs 5 & 6 start the next section of the article with some exposition. Eh, OK. Paragraph 7 is meaty, and explains why they concluded that a standard selection-type survey wasn't what they wanted. Paragraph 8 concludes this section with an explanation of their choice of targets for the exit survey. The end section here has a little more exposition, in the "author is hanging out with you" format, along with some examples of early data which support his supposition way back in the first paragraph that mining the data would be valuable. So ... this isn't about implementing a textbox form in a day. -- On another note, this sort of thing is a large part of why I personally don't bother keeping a regular blog. Why the hell should I spend any time writing something that people are going to piss on without even properly reading it? Online forums are bad enough, attracting an audience of half-interested know-it-alls doesn't sound like a fun time.
