I absolutely despise these "considered harmful" posts. They make an argument from authority which ironically most authors don't even have. If the first "considered harmful" paper was written by Dijkstra on an underlying consensus in the software development community that he was verbalising, now everyone with a controversial thought is slapping this clickbait poop in the title. Even worse, it devalues the ideas in the article, like the ideas themselves weren't good enough to begin with.
