Joel Spolsky: The Day My Industry Died

Oh my god Joel has Spoken. Must worship etc etc. Seriously - why do people genuinely wait on his every word? Atwood is the same!

All they do is spurge illogical capitalist business nonsense for the sake of making a few pounds/dollars/yen etc. The blog is a marketing medium for their products and their mindset. They constantly contradict (think Joel on simplicity a while back).

What about people who do this because they like it and want to help people. What about those people and their motivations. The altruistic nature surrounding these people is far more important than the self-important blog pimps.

And yes CityDesk and FogBugz are crap. CityDesk is a chunk of jumk reminiscent of MCMS 2002. FogBugz is FlySpray with some tartyness and some cost added. So whoopee doo.

Modded to -2. Thou must not insult those who are holier than thou.

As a matter of fact, the social mores around here prohibit insulting anybody. You can disagree, but it must be done respectfully.

I noticed. My last 4 posts have been a semi-trolling attempt to see how people react. It's a good indicator on if I can be bothered to read the comments in future.

Ahem. news.yc is not here for you to run experiments on. People who don't participate in good faith tend to get banned.
