The first post resonated with me - spot on I thought and emailed the link to anyone I thought would feel the same. I don't think we should be surprised that some folks did not understand the point being made - 'twas ever thus. I also feel that the "meme" captured here resonated nicely with Dave Winer's post http://www.scripting.com/stories/2008/12/04/soonItWillBeTimeToStartOve.html http://www.scripting.com/stories/2008/12/04/soonItWillBeTime... and with John Resig's http://ejohn.org/blog/javascript-language-abstractions/ http://ejohn.org/blog/javascript-language-abstractions/ . The abstractions are so leaky that they become the problem - no longer helping us get things done but actively (? passively) conspiring to stop us.
