Not to disagree with your points, and I don't know if my upvote helps, but you got a bunch of lucky breaks that a significant slice of HN didn't get, which could explain the downvotes. Consider that some are incapable of sensing t

Yes, 'return' is egregious. I believe it was co-designed with haskell's do-notation. So that you could write purely declarative code that was a spitting image of the imperative equivalent. E.g. x <- foo 2 -- x =

Timely question, thanks for the write-up. I wish there were reminders like this every month because I've been reflecting on how true Amy Hoy's observation is, that HN fellates intellectual superiority. I don't believe such ac

The "At stake here" borrows from judicial writing, where disinterested parties offer an analysis that would cut the gordion knot of obscuring details. It's short for, "This is really what the debate is about, isn't

startups could pay engineers fairly .... They just don't, out of naked greed. Also that idle hands are the devil's workshop. There's a fiduciary duty to channel disruption where it is due, while at the same time stabilizing

Nobody's arguing that speed isn't important. What's more important is to get things right. And no, incorporating speed in the specification doesn't make any difference. Suppose the spec says, "page must load in 200m

so was this just noise? Why don't we just call a spade a spade and call Devlin out for working backward from a preconceived text? You start with the conclusion and gather the evidence that supports it.
