What Killed Smalltalk: My Balls

Seems to have alot of quotes and intention taken out way of context. I think Uncle Bob would agree with alot of the points you made had you not redefined and distorted what he said.

To take an easy example: "A high standard of professional ethics, behaviour and work activities while carrying out one's profession" is not the same thing as acting like Henry Rollins.

Actually, I'd argue that quote is a pretty good description of Henry Rollins's behavior and work ethic. Of course, if you also consider that he started his publishing company while living and working in a tool shed, it might be hard to call him overly professional. And yeah, I get that the Rollins reference is a joke. But I'm a fan of Old Man Hank; I couldn't help but chime in here.

To be honest this rant didn't really inspire me much one way or the other, but the suck.com linkage is definitely worth the read.
