“Considered Harmful Essays Considered Harmful”.

Well it's not as rampantly inciting as "is Evil".

The only exception may be "Eval is evil," which is generally true and requires a high bar for using safely.

I could be wrong, but I reckon I read somewhere that the "considered harmful" was added in review by Niklaus Wirth, who, at the time, was editor for CACM.

A snowclone is not "stolen valor", it's a completely normal part of modern writing.

Especially considering that Dijkstra didn't even coin the phrase himself.

It's a stretch at best to call "Considered Harmful" in this context a snowcone.
