Graham on `Hackers and Painters'
Graham has written a paper titled Hackers and Painters. There are lots of problems with this paper. And the parallel-ogue here discusses some of them Apparently Graham is using `hacker' as a self-deprecating synonym for `programmer' and this leads to unnecessary confusion. Then the peper draws many mistaken conclusions from that point forward.

An old Paper: Why Postscript Sucks
Starting in 1991 I wrote a paper complaining about many of the bad design features of Postscript. This was relatively early in its history, and well before PDF was created. I have modernized by the format and will be adding `Current Commentary' to make the paper a parallel-ogue (Original, Current Comment). The paper is available here.

Paul Graham on `Succinctness is Power'
This is a parallel-ogue on Graham's note of a year or so ago wherein he argues that succinctness is power. My argument is basically that this
  • oversimplifies the situation; and
  • is wrong anyway
.
