I disagree with the tone of your comment. The book cited in the article, "Art and Fear", was first published in 1994. Having read both this article and the original book I strongly argue that neither has lost relevance over time. Re-posts are OK.

- geebee 16y agoI didn't find any negative tone to your post either. It was pretty matter of fact. I'm glad this was reposted, since I wasn't aware of the original link (even though I do read coding horror every now and then), and thanks for posting the prev discussion thread. This post makes me feel better about my horrendous code from 10 years ago. I was learning, and maybe this was the best way to go about it? I think almost all programmers go through a period where we produce huge volumes of software. There's one big difference, though. In a ceramics class, nobody has to maintain your mountain of crappy plates, vases, and ashtrays.
- chollida1 16y ago> Re-posts are OK. No one was saying they aren't. Some helpful members of the community often post links to old discussions of the same article. It's not a judgement that the link shouldn't have been posted, but rather, a way to show people who missed it what was already posted. it's invaluable when a popular link doesn't get a lot of traction on a subsequent post.
