The Art of Self-deprecation

In which Reg, with a single quote, deprecates himself quite soundly despite a massive opus of fascinating blog posts as evidence to the contrary.

In the past year I’ve managed to formulate some ad-hoc rules through which I determine the programming-related blogs I read:

  1. Anything Rails-related. (I’ve only been using Ruby and Rails for a year so anyone with something to say on the subject is interesting to me, at least until I start to formulate my own opinions… well, my own postable opinions)
  2. Posts by Reg. ’nuff said
  3. Blogs by people who comment on Reg’s posts to whom Reg extends thanks for their comments indicating that they gave him food for thought

Oh, and of course Joel on Software, if for no other reason that I can say I do when at the industry parties with everyone else (seriously though, love him or hate him he really is mandatory reading). And Stevey because, well, everyone else is a bit stupid by comparison (not that he actually said I could call him Stevey or anything but as he did put it in the title of his blog….)
