If it Looks Corporate, Change It

Zzz.

Atwood rewrote the blog post posted here earlier[1] without really adding anything. At least he referenced it.

Coding Horror has been feeling exceptionally desperate for new content. Lately it's been providing very little value and has been following the same schtick of saying something unimpressively generic and summarizing it in a sentence typeset in bold.

"Coding Horror is the leading provider of relevant appearing tabularasa in the programming blogosphere. Hackers world-wide use Jeff Atwood's Coding Horror blog for its leading edge, paradigm breaking, deeply insighted, and profound grasp of the obvious."

I'd also say "If it sounds corporate, change it." Leverage, solutions, circle back, ping, value add, methodologies, goal oriented, etc etc etc. I cringe every time I hear a friend say one of these.

Yeah we all know everything should look shiny and web 2.0 not corporate.

I voted this one up, because I found two links in the comments that are worth checking out:
