Considered-Harmful.org provides information on WYSIWYG updates by the webmaster
Considered-Harmful.org is a personal weblog run by Brennan M. O'Keefe, an MIS programmer based in the St. Louis, Missouri area. The site takes its name from Edsger W. Dijkstra's landmark 1968 CACM letter "Goto Statement Considered Harmful," a reference O'Keefe adopted as a personal brand after starting the blog on Pitas in early 2000. It is written for a general audience with interests in technology, programming culture, and personal commentary.
