It is a 2004

...but the books are still great. Show me some great books published since 2004.

Interesting read. I generally enjoy Steve's writings. Has he ever released any of his code though or does anyone know any project's he's worked on?

He wrote a/an MMORPG in 100000 lines of Java: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wyvern_(Online_Game)

He also ported Ruby on Rails to Javascript: http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2007/06/rhino-on-rails.html

awesome, thanks

Just an aside - I don't know if Steve works at google or not, but I am put off by the attribution to googlepages.com above.

It makes it seem that the content is google's, rather than Steve's.

He now works at Google but didn't at the time he wrote this particular blog.

Googlepages was Google Page Creator - it's kind of like having an x.blogger.com site show as blogger.com or x.geocities.com show as geocities.com.

I almost always hover over links on HN to check the URL. (google.com) is often code.google.com, and I knew without knowing that googlepages.com had to be something like whatever.blogger.com or some such like nopassrecover said.

This is a standard problem with attribution of Googlepages content here on HN. By far the least informative URL snippets after titles here are those that say "google.com" or "googlepages.com"--who knows who really wrote them?

Anybody know of any other good book lists?
