I mean, I miss his blog. Is there anything entertaining to read these days? Joel doesn't write interesting stuff anymore, Steve Yegge stopped blogging and PG almost never writes... Recommendations?
Pick up any one of the stories tagged "Western". They're almost all humorous stories about a larger-than-life-yet-naive frontier-man who bashes his enemies plentifully, is in turn knocked about and shot at quite a bit, but survives to prevail. Most of his enemies also survive.
With appropriate search-replace, one could probably produce amusing software development parables from those stories. They're about the right length, too.
