Jeff Atwood
Jeff Atwood

Jeff has been accused of building a solid body of technical articles over the years, and then leveraging that popularity to write purposefully controversial blog entries to garner many comments by his fan-boys (and girls), linking to his own articles to bump his stats, quitting his daytime job, striving for his own Wikipedia entry, etc.

Is any of this is true, and if so, is it too late to save Jeff from himself?

Some of his own observations of his business partner are here.

Personally, I love Jeff's articles about cool tech toys and other hardware.
