Joel's essays are just that. Essays. He continues to ignore any and all research in the area and pretends to know what he's doing. If I wanted a bunch of misinformed opinions I could just ask non-programmers.

Research would be great. Would you be so good as to recommend a peer-reviewed study of the efficacy of Bill Gates' management technique?

Meanwhile, anecdotes may be anecdotal but they're still more enjoyable than flamage.

So point out a couple for things where he is wrong, according to research? That would actually be interesting. Also, Joel does quote research results in his essays.
