Am I the only who who likes of Jeff as someone to start an inserting discussion, not someone who has the best grasp on things?
His podcast discussions with Joel... geez!
His first attempts are often... bad. When he wrote about the MVC pattern countless people quickly started correcting him.
Any time he writes anything about crytpo or security it quickly ends up with red lines through it, and a correction, and then correction gets stricken out and there's a second correction, but to his credit he does not de-publish any of that. He keeps it all out there.
He is 100% correct only on fundamental issues. Have tests, have a build server, use source control, but not visual source safe. Those topics all have value to novices.
I guess I'm trying to say that's Jeff's work has made him more notorious than awesome in my mind.
