It is strange that City Desk never gets mentioned: http://www.fogcreek.com/CityDesk/

From what I recall, that was the primary product and FogBugz was an in-house tool used to track it.

Joel uses his articles as marketing tools. FogBugz makes money and CityDesk is part of that industry that died.

How is CityDesk part of the dead industry? I thought it was basically blogging software. That industry was just being born at that time.

It was Site Publishing software written as a Windows GUI application that generates static files.

At least it wasn't as mindbogglingly stupid as Dave Winer's MacOS/Win32 desktop/server programming-language/blogging-platform/outliner floor-wax/desert-topping

A Maker's marketing can be more interesting than a non-Maker's reporting.
