Does anyone contradict him or herself more often than Jeff Atwood? It's like I'm reading an article written by two people wrestling for the keyboard.

- niyazpk 17y agoHe is very good at analogies though. Read this: http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/07/why-cant-you-have-just-one-site/ http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/07/why-cant-you-have-just... Even if what he tries to prove is correct, his reasoning for that is almost always wrong. Not wrong, but funny. I am sad that Hacker News never really loved CodingHorror articles. But I understand why - Some reasoning != Good Reasoning A gentle reminder: There is no point in discussing about Jeff every other week. Jeff Atwood is not writing for the HN crowd. Leave him alone.
- thismat 17y agoI first started reading Coding Horror about a year ago, as someone who is new to the development and programming world, he really opened my eyes to a lot of misconceptions I had held, and I can say without a doubt he led me on a path to greatly improving my standards and code. He also was instrumental in introducing me to not only a slew of great blogs and information, but eventually led me to find hacker news. I'd say the good he does for new and upcoming developers far outweighs all of the criticism I've read about his articles.
