This is a funny and well-written essay on a pedestrian topic. I wish he had been this pithy in the sheep-wolves essay, which I think has an important meaning that I can only guess at.
It took me a few minutes to realize which essay you were talking about, because that's the only essay I haven't yet read all the way through; not for a lack of trying. Steve Yegge is the James Joyce of programming blogs, and that post is his Finnegan's Wake.
