What's the motivation for everyone to add noise to Yegge's obviously broken claim that you can reason about software engineering in such a one dimensional way?


He has a lot of visibility, and makes an argument that many people disagree with. Also, on the Internet there is no such thing as "obvious".


It's easier to add to the noise than it is to write about one of your own ideas. It's even easier when you're replying to a well know voice so you can ride on their coat-tails and be on the front page of HN, proggit, etc.
