Deletion of Schlemiel the Painter's algorithm

Comment: to Joel Spolsky. The story is mentioned in a http://www.salon.com/2004/12/09/spolsky/ Salon article, but not in enough depth to count as an RS for the purposes of notability. The meme is clearly in use among software folks on wikis and blogs, but I was unable to find other independent reliable sources. Nonetheless, the idea is verifiable and  suggests that merging such material is preferable to deleting it. This is already mentioned in the Joel Spolsky article, so it is a natural target. It is a plausible search term, so a redirect is warranted, too
