Well, someone thinks the article was important enough to give it a catchy title, so that somebody else could leverage upon it.
It was old, but it at least pointed out a theme that still holds some validity.
I like getting injections of knowledge and themes, that one should be aware of, and from the replies and comments here, it seems that a lot of other people feel the same way too.
I got fucked by using .NET and Linq some years ago, so I found it to be an interesting read. Nowadays I use Objective-C and core data, and that is a much more pleasant experience, as you can see from the comments. :)
