I do not hold students in contempt. My article is an honest attempt to help students, because, as I note in the first few paragraphs that you object to, their current course of action is one that is not helping themselves. When I was a CS student at Waterloo, no one taught us how to debug small programs. Maybe things have changed since then, but at the time this was just a skill you were expected to pick up for yourself. I remember many times coming into the lab early in the morning and finding my fellow students asleep on their keyboards, having stayed up all night trying to find a bug in a 20 line program. If you don't like my article then that's too bad; my suggestion to you is rather than complaining about it, why not write your own that you like better? I'd be happy to publish a link to it.
