I stumbled across Paul's website a year ago, and was severly shaken by his writing. His ideas have inspired me more than anything has in years. So much so, that I started writing my echoed thoughts in my O'Reilly blog.
His essay "Hackers and Painters" resonated with me because, coming from my music background, I had always felt that programming is like songwriting.
His essays about how the programming language shapes the way you think made me write about the glass ceiling I felt with new features I was learning.
But hands-down, his ideas on bottom-up programming have changed the entire way I look at all the programming I do.
THANK YOU Paul for the most inspiring essays I've read since Brian Eno. :-)
