Coding Horror initially attracted me as a reader because it had some interesting anecdotes. Since then, I've been growing more and more disappointed, but this post reached a new threshold.

Maybe I'm too sensitive, but I find it condescending to imply that Steve Yegge decided to stop blogging because he can't handle criticism. Furthermore, the whole Susan Boyle reference seems like sensationalist approach to criticizing sensationalism.

With this post, Coding Horror has just jumped the proverbial shark. Or maybe it did so a long time ago and I didn't notice...
