The list is meant with a wink, the references to the maze are really a funny way to get the point across. Grow a sense of humour and flag stuff that really needs flagging, such as this: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=943367
In case you missed, it, let me spell it out for you:
Programming is idiomatic at a higher level than you'd think by casual inspection of the code, when you zoom out to the level of individual programs, maybe even projects there is a very limited set of classes that you can group most if not all programs in to.
I'm missing one for web programming, so let me supply that one here:
WebApps: data gets moved from some datastore, through some processing machinery to produce html, then gets sent to the user, the interactions get captured in forms or ajax and pass a bunch of processing machinery on the way to some datastore. Repeat until machine failure.
