Alastair Rankine: “In a recent podcast, Atwood [of Coding Horror] disclosed recently that he had never learned C, one of my developer essentials. To me, this revelation is a profound hit to his credibility; it is like finding out that the chef who cooked your meal is a robot with no sense of taste or smell.

So what language does Atwood use to illustrate his articles on the finer points of programming? Well here’s the really puzzling thing. I can’t remember reading a single article on Coding Horror which actually included any original code, horrible or otherwise.”
