Agreed. I made the same decision/trade-off analysis when I posted my articles about "Hyperbrains" on http://inter-sections.net .. and was sternly warned about it by my father!... and had to admit he had a point too.

'swombat' (Daniel Tenner) linked this in a discussion a while ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1314793 I finally got around to reading it, and it is well worth being turned in to a book or so. If you haven't read it (and the follow up postings) please do.

Update about the malfunctioning link: it seems like http://inter-sections.net/2007/11/13/how-to-recognise-a-good-programme… works (removed "www" and the trailing slash). I've contacted the author so that he may do something about it :)
