It's amazing: you go back to stuff he wrote a decade ago, and it's still highly relevant. Not a thing has changed!
Maybe a bunch of folks could fund a Kickstarter to get him to write publicly once more…
Maybe we should create a support group?
I've set up the word "Yegge" on HNWatcher to alert me about posts like this, so I can find people discussing his posts the much-awaited day when he leaves Google and returns to full-time blogging and game playing.
I haven't been able to find many posts with that drunken spirit - they are about software, but also about the culture around it, not that technical, and smart and funny but didn't make "us" feel nerdy and lesser. While still reminding how dislocated some of us feel amongst regular humans.

I love Steve's writing and it would be a mistake not to listen to him

Also the open-source releases of Bazel[1] and gRPC[2] indicate that there's a lot more coming in this direction.

I didn't bought it because I expected it to be the blog posts in another format, but may be there are a few newer things. I'll probably buy it anyway.
__I missed the last sentence, it's a collection of blogs posts__
That's not a reason to not apply though. I was in a great team, and they're a good place to work. I just wish they could fix their recruiting problem.
What is actually so interesting about this post though is how wrong he was about distributed architecture and the micro-services approach.
Amazon, while their recruiting process may still have flaws, has created the future of computing by realizing the original vision of "The Network is the Computer." No other company has done this on such a scale with such success.
But yeah, more Yegge. Even when he was wrong he got people thinking and talking.
Care to elaborate? In 2011 I think the approach was quite successful already (well, for big companies like Amazon)...
Okay, that one made me laugh.
