programming-essay
Write a programming essay or blog post in the voice of the canon — Spolsky, Yegge, Graham, Mickens, Dijkstra, Brooks, Nystrom, Kleppmann, patio11. Invoke when the user wants to argue an idea about software, architecture, languages, or the craft — not a debugging war story (use debugging-story for that), not a tutorial, not a release note. The audience is working developers worldwide with taste and strong opinions of their own.
