I think the Where's The Fire is very poorly named. Whenever I see the WTF acronym I get so confused.


Yeah I agree. We all know it means "Worse than Failure". http://worsethanfailure.com/Default.aspx (cop out alert)


If I haven't mentioned it here already I'll say it now. That site is a waste of time. Did you see the article Jeff Atwood posted there a few weeks ago? There's something about the community that has sprung up there that is so negative and cliquish (is that a word?). Really leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Oh it's definitely got the "we're the only smart guys here" feeling. It can be funny for a story or two, but I do get tired of the negativity.

What might be cooler is always suggesting another way of doing things. Maybe using the case study approach. Here's what went wrong, and here's what we're going to do to fix it. That'd be a cool site.


I'll have to say though, this one is pretty good.

Heh. There ARE some good ones there - but looking back at some of my very first lines of code...I can't laugh TOO hard.
