Point taken. I was mainly using it as a play on Jeff's original post about him "jumping the shark" but I guess it's easy to miss that if you're not altogether familiar with his body of work. Either way, my point wasn't that Jeff Atwood is a moron and whatever he says should be disregarded. Sorry if it came across as that. The point I was trying to make was that his disregard for code quality and the SOLID principles in specific is dangerous and that the massive amount of readership he gets and the support they have for his beliefs makes that doubly so.
