This may be an irrelevant observation, and excuse me for that, but---the wardrobe malfunction was 10 years ago?! Good Lord, my brain's system clock needs a battery replacement.
This is my favorite Coding Horror post: <a href="http://blog.codinghorror.com/international-backup-awareness-day/" rel="nofollow">http://blog.codinghorror.com/international-backup-awareness-...</a>
Congrats. I've been reading for 10 years! Atwood & Spolsky have always been great reading, and mainly because they push back on fads without being to over the top, don't oversimplify, and don't pretend to have the one-true-answer.
There are older blogs on the web (mine is 13+ years). What impresses me about Jeff is that he has built up such a huge audience, and effectively converted that into a business. I don't always agree with his opinions, but that's fine I can still admire his output.
Here's my little bit of interaction with Coding Horror:<p><a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/62hzb/why_coding_horror_does_not_suck" rel="nofollow">http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/62hzb/why_codin...</a><p><a href="http://blog.codinghorror.com/on-the-meaning-of-coding-horror/" rel="nofollow">http://blog.codinghorror.com/on-the-meaning-of-coding-horror...</a>
SO has changed the web. It's a wikipedia-calibre resource - at least, for programmers - and its various spreading incantations in every direction seem destined to displace every other forum vehicle. It is truly a victory for humanity.

If anyone's wondering what comic/graphic novel those panels are from, it's from 'Watchmen'<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watchmen" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watchmen</a>
I'm still thinking he should have taken the $120K and rebranded elsewhere, but what do I know? :-)<p>I used to check his site daily. Now I wait for the links to appear here. I know he's busy, but I wish he'd have time to write and share more!
Congratulations, glad you're using Ghost. You should give away some "Code Keyboard" to your readers to commemorate the 10th anniversary. Keep it up
No comments/discussion directly on the blog anymore? Looks like we've been purged for the anniversary. This is funny considering the recent complaint-driven-development posting. I also found the app-pocalypse-now a little ironic considering they just released a SO app.
