Link-bait Hacker Slash News Dot Considered Cancerous Request For Call To Action
Sponsored By
Considered Harmful
Declarative statement opening blog statement. Back away from declarative statement slightly, pivot then double down with even more controversial declarative statement. Insult beloved programming language and assert newer language's idiomatic aesthetic as superior. Including backing statistics with missing Y-axis labels to prop up weak link-bait including declarative statement. Reference Linus, invoke Dijkstra. Oh, everything looks bad if you remember it.
Biased Benchmarks
Supporting albeit equivocating statement. Weak marginally equivocating statement because I want to be on TechCrunch. Farmville.
if 1 then A
else if 2 then B
else if 3 then C
else/otherwise D
Supporting K&R C quote inducing page references with non sequitur reference to Mythical man month.
Use the right tool for the right job. Grep harder. Appeal to authority. Fowler invocation asserting Turing completeness. That's not NP complete. Try to grok harder.
UR doing it wrong
I suggest you try it again. This time, let go your conscious self and act on instinct. Finding a needle in a haystack isn't hard when every straw is computerized. Spare me your space age technobabble, Attila the Hun! Soothe us with sweet lies.
There's a cat in that computer. It's running a custom Mint Distro. That's a meme!
Use the right tool for the right job. SRSLY. Down-voted into oblivion. Obscure Spolsky link justifying contrarian position.. It's a Atwoodian tautology.
Accusations of intellectual dishonesty
Off-handed reference to FizzBuzz, dreamy reminiscence of Programming Pearls, reference to my first Altair and frustration at the current state of affairs.
CmdrTaco name drop, dig at Digg, Y-Combinator sour grapes. I didn't think it was physically possible, but this both sucks *and* blows. Yes, if you make it look like an electrical fire. It's a go-cart, powered by my own sense of self-satisfaction.
Reference to pointless diagram and misplaced frustration at Large Company. Comment directed at patent trolls combined with acerbic witty statement with regards to Lessig and software patents pointlessness.
Random bolded concluding sentence.
Follow me. Read my blog. I have opinions.

In-my-mind-only-insight tangentially related to the above that really makes no sense at all. Demand that Scott recognize my brilliance.
Attack comment misspelling and declare grammar superiority. Fanboy. Jobs.Rails.Attempted witty statement to invalidate entire post.
Actually insightful comment which notices a grave error in the supporting graphs and code, but which has been lost in a sea of comments and will never be noticed by anyone, especially the author.
Elitest reference to Hofstader. It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter’s law.
ALL CAPS REPETITION OF PREVIOUS "INSIGHT" AND ANOTHER DEMAND THAT YOU RECOGNIZE MY BRILLIANCE!
Statement supporting both sides claiming that the correct way is somewhere in the middle.

Kind response of appreciation to TorgoGuy's continued douchebaggery event though he's a troll. Reassertion of Nice Guy image by OP.
long-winded comment attacking the "young-ens", declaring their rubies, gems, perls and all other stones to be garbage! Oh if only development were the way development used to be. Maybe even a smattering of assembly code thrown in for good measure.
Flame-worthy, misguided, and plainly wrong statement on shameful use of tax dollars to fund another private study on endless cat-in-computer memes.
Pointing out a minor typo in the double-poster's comment pointing out a minor typo.
Completely superflous comment that I insist on making solely for the purpose of feeling like I have something to contribute to a conversation that is above my head and outside of my personal area of expertise.

Comment attacking @codeimpossible with link to benchmark touting development time metrics compared to C++.
Pointing out multple spellingerrors while having multiple spellingerrors in this comment. Also pointing out that spellingerrors make your point moot.
Random never-ending statement completely unrelated to the post. But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure? On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee.
Hi My Name is JACK WALKER. I'm a specialist recruiter always searching for THE BEST IN THE INDUSTRY and always on the look for someone with MAD NINJA SKILLZ (and I've read in a book I believe I bought via an Amazon top 20 list - or was it in SLC airport that you need to seem FRESH to be attractive?) in JAVA, c# and if you're really good at PROGRAMMING HTML it would be awesome.

Huge block of code with rewrite of code sample to get it to "work" in some other circumstances. Decades later, frantic Google-Search-Copy-Paste certified developers will try this code when the above code doesn't work for them.
This code in fact does compile, but introduces a severe logic and / or security bug.

"Title of the Song" by Da Vinci's Notebook
Declaration of my feelings for you
Elaboration on those feelings
Description of how long these feelings have existed
Belief that no one else could feel the same as I
Reminiscence of the pleasant times we shared
And our relationship’s perfection
Recounting of the steps that led to our love’s dissolution
Mostly involving my unfaithfulness and lies
Penitent admission of wrongdoing
Discovery of the depth of my affection
Regret over the lateness of my epiphany
CHORUS
Title of the song
Naïve expression of love
Reluctance to accept that you are gone
Request to turn back time
And rectify my wrongs
Repetition of the title of the song
Enumeration of my various transgressive actions
Of insufficient motivation
Realization that these actions led to your departure
And my resultant lack of sleep and appetite
Renunciation of my past insensitive behavior
Promise of my reformation
Reassurance that you still are foremost in my thoughts now
Need for instructions how to gain your trust again
Request for reconciliation
Listing of the numerous tasks that I’d perform
Of physical and emotional compensation
CHORUS
Acknowledgment that I acted foolishly
Increasingly desperate pleas for your return
Sorrow for my infidelity
Vain hope that my sins are forgivable
Appeal for one more opportunity
Drop to my knees to elicit crowd response
Prayers to my chosen deity
Modulation and I hold a high note…

Comment claiming that Hanselman has, yet again, jumped the shark.
Reasonable sounding argument that few could logically dispute but worded in such a way that it only just veils an intense level of bigotry and contempt.
Given that, me, the troll, has just been fed by getting recognition by the OP, new post continuing my trolling, claiming victory.
Comment about how it is absolutely absurd that once again the user interface here has been redesigned and I'm being forced to use a different view of a service that I pay nothing for.
Whining about how the comments suck and I'm going to thumb down all your youtube videos.
Complaint that this commenting system is flawed and includes neither threading nor voting. Ragequit.
I'm going to unfollow you on Twitter now. I think it's not only important that you know this, but I expect you to feel a reasonable level of guilt for leaving me no other choice based on your actions that I won't point out without using ALL CAPS.
Post announcing that I'm signing off for tonight, but that I will return tomorrow to reply to all counterarguments to my argument expressed here, thinking that you all actually care and will return to here to bask in my wisdom.

Comment noting TorgoGuy's brilliance and my complete agreement with everything he says.
Comment agreeing with HosieryMarionette's assessment of my brilliance.
Angry comment stating that I, TorgoGuy, *obviously* am not HosieryMarionette and further stating "how dare you question my integrity". Statement that I'm never coming back to this blog. (Return occurrs two weeks later with no change to the endless trollish pattern.)
Lamentations that I have arrived too late to have my impactful comment read and taken seriously. Heed it anyway.
So I looked at the IL and A and B actually yield the same result, so you won't really see a performance gain using either one. I did that after I used reflector to inspect what Microsoft's code is doing.

Comment not so subtly praising myself for actually having read ALL the comments. Snarky statement accusing others of NOT having read ALL the comments. Annoying use of CAPS for emphasis instead of html tags. Gratuitous praise of OP. Longwinded statement bemoaning how we've lost the thread of the conversation. Pointless final statement.
Troll link which would explain why TorgoGuy has to use obvious sock puppets.

Scott,
Your post is evidence of the vast community-reach your blog has earned you.
Thanks for giving us all with this post, a place to shamelessly act like script-kiddies, trolls, and mega-nerds in the name of cathartic humor. I don't know many authors who would tolerate it much less support such expression.
I've always believed comiserating with good laughter (and a icy pint when possible) is always excellent emotional debugging.
I think I speak for many readers and commenters when I say we're sorry you were frustrated yesterday.

I see /. has finally annoyed you enough to post about it... Hilarious!
Acronym to laugh out loud, but not actually laugh out loud.

Rushed warning that comments made by Scott Hanselman (having nothing to do with this actual post) have actually been discovered on a Slash News Dot website and predicting possibly certain inevitable (maybe) crash of his underpowered website and domain host due to overload of webtubes by geek hoards rushing to check out posts...or at least a few bonus hits by cats napping on keyboards.

Mentioning a good link I found while googling, it also has some excellent sample code that I haven't checked out.

Hanselman,
What are you talking about in this blog? I have no idea why I even read the whole thing. Now this is going to give me bad stomach (a side reaction of my mind not able to understand something).
Save me some hospital bills.

*This post should have been titled "Introduction", but nobody reads introductions. You could reveal that it is and introduction in the footnotes because nobody reads footnotes either.
Obligatory comment about how poster agrees with the points in your post but have you seen the product from posters company called [insert company name here] that fixes this very problem
Angry comment aimed at spelling errors in comment section.
Questions sanity of other comments and blogger, while leaving a spelling error.

This is all Obama's fault. Deregulation of the current socialist system is necessary for healthly blogosphere.
Obligatory comment from a 3rd-world reader guilting you for living in America and shaming you for assuming that we all have technology x and running version y.

THIS IS THE WAY-LATE-TO-THE-PARTY COMMENT. IT DEMONSTRATES THAT I DID NOT READ THE COMMENTS ABOVE AS MY POINT REHASHES WHAT WAS ALREADY SAID 4 TIMES (6 IF YOU COUNT INDIVIDUAL POSTS BY TORGOGUY)
I WOULD HAVE POSTED THIS BRILLIANT COMMENT / CALL-TO-ACTION SOONER BUT FACEBOOK / GOOGLE DOCS / WINDOWS 8 / TWITTER / X-BOX / JQUERY PLUGINS / HANSELMAN.COM HAVE ALL CHANGED THEIR LAYOUTS AND ICOULDN'T FIND MY WAY AROUND THE SITES TO REPLY WAS BUSY POSTING ANGRY COMMENTS ABOUT THEM FIRST.
IN SUMMARY, I DISAGREED WITH YOUR STOCK PHOTO, BUT YOUR SMART ART CHANGED MY OUTLOOK.
ALSO, MY KEYBOARD SEEMS TO LACK A SHIFT KEY AND ONLY HAS THE ANNOYING CASE.

Happy Holiday message that includes uncomfortable religious dogma.
Why didn't anyone link here? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0
Frankly, “link baiting” sounds to me just like “being a good webmaster”. If we want our website to be considered worthwhile, then we need to add content to it that people want to link to naturally. Really appreciable post.
Ridiculously late-to-the-party comment comparing this post to another YouTube video.
Even more rediculously late-to-the-party comment asking if this thread is still active because I REALLY NEED TO KNOW ALL THE ANSWERS.
