Sure, it may have been a coincidence, but I considered it a cautionary tale.

Follow-ups

¹I’m not embarrassed for making a pun, just that it’s a bad pun. (Some people would argue that there’s no such thing as a good pun.)

Author

Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
