The Secret to Good Writing: It's About Objects, Not Ideas

I almost always find thoughtful discussion of how to write and convey ideas to be inspirational. Lyn Dupre's book, Bugs in Writing (http://www.amazon.com/BUGS-Writing-Revised-Edition-Debugging...) is good about some of the mechanics.

Likewise, thoughtful articles about how to structure and write good computer code are almost always interesting.

Although I found discussion interesting, I feel like there could have actually been a few concrete applied examples in this article.
