Reasons to *not* title your blog post, conference talk, or whatever "X Considered Harmful":• It's an inherently combative and inflammatory framing that undermines whatever point you're trying to make.• It's an incredibly overused and tired cliché.• it is quite possibly the most unbelievably arrogant and cowardly use of the passive voice possible.

The template is a reference to "GOTO Considered Harmful", a letter submitted by Edsger Dijkstra to the Communications of the Association of Computing Machinery in 1968, when *my parents* were both toddlers. The title, however, wasn't chosen by Dijkstra, but rather by an editor of CACM.
