I agree with a lot of this article, but the slam on Charles Simonyi was fairly random to the point of making me wonder if the author is just ignorant of software development history or straight out trolling.
I've never liked Hungarian Notation either, but that doesn't change the fact that during his years at Xerox PARC and Microsoft Simonyi exemplified "Smart and Gets Things Done".
