On: Two Things

[gm]

The answers in the article are pretty cool, except for the programming ones. Just like in programming, people try to get cute with conciseness and end up making pretty unfunny jokes. Once you have heard the word "idiot" in anything having to do with programming, subsequent mentions are yawners.

But the whole idea of narrowing down everything to two core principles is awesome; so +1 from me, certainly.

I suspect that "the answers are pretty cool, except for <the ones regarding the subject I know a lot about>" is itself the most common reaction.

No, there were a few about topics such as economics (one each?), and a ton about programming.
