I think these “<whatever I don’t agree with> considered harmful” articles get a bit tideous after a while. For any of them you can just as easily write a counterpoint “<whatever you prefer instead> considered harmful” with just as much passion and merit. Mentally I tend to rewrite these as “<bob or jane> are mad at <goto, recursion, forth, puppies, kittens, etc>” and that is probably closer to the truth. They are opinion pieces that allow people to vent to a crowd. If this comment had a title it could be “Considered Harmful articles considered harmful” or “Bob is mad at considered harmful articles”. Someone else could come along and write “Lack of considered harmful articles considered harmful” with equal merit I’m sure. ;) I’ve made a point the last few years to put at least one goto in all my code just to mess with the junior devs, though in practice the junior devs aren’t familiar with the original material so its more the mid level devs that will explode into green flame or curl into a ball when they find my goto. Senior devs couldn’t care less if they find a goto.
