Jeff Atwood (born 1970) is an American software developer, author, blogger, and entrepreneur. He co-founded the question-and-answer network Stack Exchange, which contains the Stack Overflow website for computer programming questions.[4] He is the owner and writer of the computer programming blog Coding Horror, focused on programming and human factors.[5] As of 2012, his most recent project was Discourse, an open source Internet discussion platform.[3]
In a 2007 blog post, Atwood proposed the following rule related to the rule of least power, calling it Atwood's law:[6] "Any application that can be written in JavaScript, will eventually be written in JavaScript".[7]

I propose a corollary to this rule [the rule of least power], which ... I'll call Atwood's Law: any application that can be written in JavaScript, will eventually be written in JavaScript.
