Engineering blogger's love of parroting the titles of famous papers/articles (unreasonable effectiveness..., all you need is..., ... Considered harmful, etc) has always been lightly annoying to me

- jorvi 1y agoWith software engineering, every single thing in the 2010s had "syntactic sugar" and "sane defaults". I still get a slight blood pressure spike whenever someone uses either of those terms.
- joe_the_user 1y agoI guess those are overused but at least they have some meaning. "Unreasonable Effectiveness..." is essentially pure meaninglessness.
- tim333 1y agoIt was meaningful in the original paper.
- ruuda 1y ago"modern"
- nine_k 1y agoFine. "The unreasonable effectiveness of syntactic sugar considered harmful: all you need is sane defaults." Now, in comparison, nothing in this thread is going to annoy you!
- layer8 1y agoAll you need is for the unreasonable effectiveness of snowclones to be considered harmful.
