so i found a link to this on ranchero.com, and by the time i was into the fourth paragraph i knew i was going to mention it here. (for the curious, the fourth paragraph contained the quote: "Computer science is a grab bag of tenuously related areas thrown together by an accident of history, like Yugoslavia", which i think is both hilarious and on target.) even better, when i got past that great quote, the whole thing just kept on hitting closer and closer to home. i've liked most of paul graham's essays, but i think this one is the one i like the best.
so what are you waiting for?
go read it!
