For computer science folks, "Considered Harmful" actually makes the title more catchy, not less. That phrase has a long history (relatively speaking) in the discipline.
Maybe you're being sarcastic/making a joke and I'm just not getting it?
- cosgroveb 16y agoExcellent point. It goes back to Djikstra's "Go To Statement Considered Harmful." I was just pointing out that changing the title from "... Considered Somewhat Harmful" to "Arrays are Harmful" is just linkbaiting the title. At the same time, it bastardized a play on the title of a pretty important paper in Computer Science. At this point though I feel like we're really wasting keystrokes on something silly and off-topic.
