Somehow, the links in the article do not work for me (they all link back to the same article, and searching with various techniques for those links) does not result in anything useful.

But, overall I guess some FunctionalWeenie learnt about NoSilverBullet, to put it into C2-wiki terms (so don't take the mild burn too serious :) ).

No. This guy is the real thing. He has been doing hard-core game programming since the early 80s and serious Erlang hacking since 1999 (!), and has a long record of thinking deeply about programming and writing about it. This is one of the few programming bloggers worth taking seriously.

Oh, and the links work fine in the original post (http://prog21.dadgum.com/54.html).

Yes, I am reading the original posts now and he is right, the preceding posts are posts I remember reading and they do change the light shed by the articles.
