Someone found it interesting?

Thanks for that link.

I'm just surprised that this article is near the top of the front page, next to Apple, John Carmack, Android ported to C#, and an OpenBSD release.

Seems to me that a few writer's articles always shoot to the top of this site, regardless of topic. No disrespect intended towards those authors.

I share your sentiments.

It's also possible that there are bots (or people) that simply submit Coding Horror posts. I believe duplicate submissions are counted as upvotes.

This seems particularly likely given that Coding Horror post is quite fresh. It shot to #3, but has fallen to #10 in the last few minutes.
