If it Looks Corporate, Change It
codinghorror.comZzz.
Atwood rewrote the blog post posted here earlier[1] without really adding anything. At least he referenced it.
Coding Horror has been feeling exceptionally desperate for new content. Lately it's been providing very little value and has been following the same schtick of saying something unimpressively generic and summarizing it in a sentence typeset in bold.

Atwood's formula lets him make posts when he has nothing to say: http://blog.wekeroad.com/blog/nothing-to-say/
It seems like Atwood is concentrating more on StackOverflow and the Dev Days Conferences. It seems like Coding Horror is falling by the wayside right now.
EDIT: it was funny when I wrote it, but it looks petty and mean-spirited now.
At least it introduced me to the "headset hotties" blog, lol. Maybe that's something I should have come across before, but its hilarious
"Coding Horror is the leading provider of relevant appearing tabularasa in the programming blogosphere. Hackers world-wide use Jeff Atwood's Coding Horror blog for its leading edge, paradigm breaking, deeply insighted, and profound grasp of the obvious."
I'd also say "If it sounds corporate, change it." Leverage, solutions, circle back, ping, value add, methodologies, goal oriented, etc etc etc. I cringe every time I hear a friend say one of these.
ping?
Yeah we all know everything should look shiny and web 2.0 not corporate.
I voted this one up, because I found two links in the comments that are worth checking out:
