Joel is always very, very much worth reading and so the list of nominations for best essay on software development were definitely worth a look. Clearly I haven't read all of them, but this article on XML, definitely resonates with me right now. Rather more seriously there
is also an excellent introduction to critical thinking also shortlisted. You can find that here.
