Steve Yegge on ten great books
- redcap 18y agoJust an aside - I don't know if Steve works at google or not, but I am put off by the attribution to googlepages.com above. It makes it seem that the content is google's, rather than Steve's.
- nopassrecover 18y agoHe now works at Google but didn't at the time he wrote this particular blog. Googlepages was Google Page Creator - it's kind of like having an x.blogger.com site show as blogger.com or x.geocities.com show as geocities.com.
- tokenadult 18y agoThis is a standard problem with attribution of Googlepages content here on HN. By far the least informative URL snippets after titles here are those that say "google.com" or "googlepages.com"--who knows who really wrote them?
- mattyb 18y agoI almost always hover over links on HN to check the URL. (google.com) is often code.google.com, and I knew without knowing that googlepages.com had to be something like whatever.blogger.com or some such like nopassrecover said.
- d0mine 18y agoIt is a 2004
- jdale27 18y ago...but the books are still great. Show me some great books published since 2004.
- jalammar 18y agoInteresting read. I generally enjoy Steve's writings. Has he ever released any of his code though or does anyone know any project's he's worked on?
- screwperman 18y agoHe wrote a/an MMORPG in 100000 lines of Java: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wyvern_(Online_Game) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wyvern_(Online_Game) He also ported Ruby on Rails to Javascript: http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2007/06/rhino-on-rails.html http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2007/06/rhino-on-rails.html
