No more chains

I, even though programming is not currently my day job, retain an interest in it, and I still read some programming blogs semi-frequently. Today was kind of a boring day at work for several reasons, and I took some "Professional Development" time to read some programming related blogs.

I just read a post that almost breaks my heart. It doesn't break my heart for the reasons I think it will touch nearly everyone else that reads it, but it breaks my heart because of where I think Steve Yegge is going to end up with where he takes it. He's so close here, and I fear he's going to go the way so many others do. Reading this will help you understand me, and the despair I feel at talking to these, 'my people' sometimes.
