An article against ego that tries to encourage perspective, written by an author with such a big ego and lack of perspective he writes things like:

"Maybe, you think that because you avoid all the abstractions of higher level languages, you are somehow better and “purer.” Because you do pointer arithmetic and bit shifting, you really understand what is going on in a computer. No, you don’t. You understand C programming"

I'm sure somewhere in there is a heart-felt message though ... somewhere. I think he needs to meet more programmers.
