I am less a fan of "top N _whatevers_ done by _whomever_" lists--seems like an outline looking for content.
But he does link to the "egoless programming". I remember when that kind of chatter came out--probably concurrent with "The Psychology of Computer Programming". I remember thinking then, and still wondering, why there aren't similar essays about "egoless management" or "Becoming an Egoless Executive".
Just wondering.
And on that topic, I think that separating criticism of the work from the criticism of the programmer/author/poet is a dicey thing indeed. I wonder if doing so is just pretending.
