No, I'm saying that an article by him on a (relatively simple) programming technique is in no way more notable than tens of thousands of other articles on various programming techniques, in contrast to what is being claimed above ("articles [...] by [...] Raymond are more or less evergreen content").
The piece is well written and informative. Lesser minds such as mine even consider it useful.
The content of the article is more or less evergreen. Raymond's celebrity in a constellation of small worlds [deserved or not] makes it more likely to get treated so.
The joke is funny. If Knuth and Ritchie we're the domain for panels one and two though, panel three would get a much larger range. John Skeet, even maybe?
