Joel on Software on Developers

Monday, September 11th, 2006

I’ve followed Joel Spolsky’s writings since before there were blogs. There was a time when he seemed like one of the only people writing interesting stuff about software development. Lately, however, I’d become rather disenchanted with his output. His writing got pretty sparse for a while, and then he became downright prolific. […]
