"Joel built his business by relating Microsoft gossip and telling programmers what they wanted to hear."

I'm pretty sure programmers don't want to hear "you need to be writing functional specs" [http://joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000036.html], "you don't know enough about Unicode" [http://joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html], "if you don't 'get' pointers and recursion, you just ain't cut out to be a programmer" [http://joelonsoftware.com/articles/ThePerilsofJavaSchools.ht...], or "you should never scrap a working codebase and start all over" [http://joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000069.html]
