As usual Dave spends 90% of his time reminding you how awesome he is and 10% on the actual content of the article. I guess I'm glad to see it, because without Dave there to remind them the new generation of programmers really might have matured and and entered industry without ever knowing about the marginal contributions of this raving egotist.
We put up with Wolfram-sized egos because Mathematica is an incredible achievement. Dave could take a page from Wolfram. Try wowing us first.
