    A proper blog comment should be a self serving totally unrelated shameless plug, it's all explained in my blog.
  • Steve Sanderson · 10 months ago
    That is *very* funny - I'll probably be chuckling to myself all morning about this. The only thing is I'm not sure I'll be able to read www.codinghorror.com ever again, which is a pity, cos I was kind of enjoying it... :)
  • jtyost2 · 10 months ago
    You'll read codinghorror again just to see how closely he follows the script.

    For a second I couldn't tell if this was perfectly executed satire or if Jeff Atwood is guest-blogging....
  • dtchepak · 10 months ago
    Classic :-)
    Best thing you've written in ages :-P ;-)

    Dude... are you drunk or something?
  • Krishna Kumar · 10 months ago
    Brilliant!

    Which only goes to show why Coding Horror is what all the software developers (123K+ subscribers) want to read.
  • James · 10 months ago
    I see what you did there.
  • Todd Smith · 10 months ago
    The eye implant Scott gave you must be malfunctioning. I would look at updating the nanoware.

    Great advice, what advice would you give for columnists? I'm one and sometimes I'm puzzled and not sure what to start of with writing..what are good ways of coming up with those kind of ideas?
  • migsho · 10 months ago
    Boy that aws harsh.... and boring also.
  • Vassil Dichev · 10 months ago
    You know, your blog is starting to suck and your writing has become stultifyingly formulaic and boring ;-) Oh, wait, that would give away the fact I don't read to the end before I start a comment. Ah well, many commenters don't anyway.

  • Matt Brubeck · 10 months ago
    Apparently Jeff Atwood's spoken conversations consist of intonations like, "Consider your writing a natural extension of your spoken conversations."
  • Jess · 10 months ago
    I'm disappointed that you didn't get a rick-roll in there!

    re: 5 Ninja TIPS

    Love the randomness. Drinking my crap cup of coffee in the morning and reading your randomness seems to make the crap cup of coffee spectacular.

    I may have lied about the cup off coffee and it's only a glass of water, but i'm not allowed coffee.

    "It's better to regret something you've done, then something you haven't. Otherwise you'll always wonder what if".

    Well this random comment does have meaning and if I could use strong tags and or bold tags I could have highlighted that point exactly.

    One day i'll take up the Rob Connery challenge and make some awesome Ninja posts.

  • Chris Kolenko · 10 months ago

    Now wait a minute, Mr. Socks Fox!

    When a fox is in the bottle where the tweetle beetles battle
    with their paddles in a puddle on a noodle-eating poodle,
    THIS is what they call...

    ...a tweetle beetle noodle poodle bottled paddled
    muddled duddled fuddled wuddled fox in socks, sir!

    Fox in socks, our game is done, sir.
    Thank you for a lot of fun, sir.
