The most overrated writer in the history computing. It always made me scratch my head why Joel Spolsky, who, say what you want, but I think is a very legitimate writer said so many praises for Atwood's writing. But Spolsky also said Yegge wrote beautifully, which I cannot fathom; it is definitely a different standard for writing than the rest of the world. There's more to writing than using correct grammar, but in the standard of programming blog writing I guess that's amazing. :) Really, I'd rather have wonky grammar and good content on programming blogs than just a series of pictures and backlinks with ideas that make no sense.

That being said, I was not familiar with hyperink at all but it is actually a very pleasant reading experience (it was just the actual words that upset/annoyed me :) )
