He's one of the first developer bloggers. He wrote a load of famous articles, the echos of which you'll have been exposed to even if you've never read them. His first set were from his time at Amazon: https://sites.google.com/site/steveyegge2/blog-rants https://sites.google.com/site/steveyegge2/blog-rants He then wrote a load of later ones when at Google: https://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/index.html https://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/index.html And, yes, the (in)famous platforms rant. While the blogs range widely, a major overarching theme was static vs dynamic typing. Basically everything he wrote is worth reading; and definitely a thousand times more that whatever's on the HN front page these days.
