I'd like to share one of my favorite web sites with you.
Joel Spolsky, a New York City software developer and CEO/owner of
Fog Creek Software, is a brilliant author. His humorous articles
and strategy letters are not only entertaining, they often open my
eyes and help me see things from a different point of view.
Joel's articles are about software development, user interface design,
marketing and show his commitment to quality management.
