Stables and Volatiles

I really enjoyed this when I read it in Marco Arment's The Magazine a few weeks ago. I didn't realize the content would be freely available.

Apparently another article was also published by one of the other authors:

...with a note at the top about The Magazine's content deal:

The following was written in August, 2012. It was published a month ago in the first issue of Marco Arment’s iOS-only publication The Magazine. Marco has generously allowed his contributors to retain copyright and the option to share their work on their own sites after a time. If you have an iOS device, please consider supporting Marco and The Magazine by purchasing a subscription.

I really like this. It reminds me of the ideas Steve Yegge was discussing with his "software engineering political axis". https://plus.google.com/u/0/110981030061712822816/posts/KaSK...
