Yegge was one of the best tech bloggers but sadly I don't think he's done any public writing since this leak.
It's more than a little sad that Steve appears to have been largely ignored.
*2011. Still an amazing post. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3138826
A few days ago I found this :
http://www.amazon.fr/Programmers-Rantings-Programming-Langua... 2&keywords=steve+yegge
I didn't bought it because I expected it to be the blog posts in another format, but may be there are a few newer things. I'll probably buy it anyway.
__I missed the last sentence, it's a collection of blogs posts__
Agree with what he said about Amazon's recruitment. Amazon's recruiting process is flawed and highly uncertain. Seems like recruiters are not in sync even with each other.
+1 Yegge's blog (heck, +10). I miss it.
What is actually so interesting about this post though is how wrong he was about distributed architecture and the micro-services approach.
Amazon, while their recruiting process may still have flaws, has created the future of computing by realizing the original vision of "The Network is the Computer." No other company has done this on such a scale with such success.
But yeah, more Yegge. Even when he was wrong he got people thinking and talking.
> whereas dialing Security to zero can still get you a reasonably successful product such as the Playstation Network.
Okay, that one made me laugh.
Stevey should be the chief of GCP... At least they are doing exactly as he stated in the post...
Man, I really, really miss Steve's blog rants. I wonder if Google hired him so that he would write those just for their own internal audience.
It's amazing: you go back to stuff he wrote a decade ago, and it's still highly relevant. Not a thing has changed!
Maybe a bunch of folks could fund a Kickstarter to get him to write publicly once more…
