Sewage and Wine

by Denton Gentry

If you add a spoonful of wine to a barrel of sewage, the result is a barrel of sewage.

Don't turn a blind eye to the sewage in your service.

I still associate this with astonishing CPU power, even though my mobile phone now outperforms it.

In 4/2008, the second article I ever posted sat at the #1 spot on the programming reddit for most of the day. Approximately 20,000 hits were recorded that day. For a while I thought that was how blogging was supposed to work: you post, tens of thousands of people show up to read and debate it, and repeat. Sadly, nothing I've written since has approached that degree of interest.

Until yesterday, that is. Telling programmers they should learn to type and possibly to swear turns out to elicit significant reaction.
