FatBlog: "Joel, Please Get Off of Software"
(1/1)
mouser:
I link to Joel Spolsky essays quite frequently (I find them often insightfull even if Joel can be much too self-promoting for my tastes).
Well member f0dder on our forum posted a link on a recent forum thread, to a blog that rips into Joel with some serious skill and humour. For your consideration is this terrific autopsy with commentary on an essay Joel wrote on hiring people:
Am I the only person who’s sick of watching people like Joel On Software spew obvious nonsense? Starting a business is about not throwing away your budget. Most of us don’t have a several year old blog full of other nonsense to convince VCs to recapitalize us just because we lit our first budget on fire to watch the pretty dollars burn.

>“The Aeron chair has, sadly, been tarnished with a reputation of being extravagant, especially for startups.“
Because it is, you douche. It’s an EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLAR CHAIR. YOU DO NOT NEED AN EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLAR CHAIR.

What can I say other than I have a new blog to read on a regular basis. Great stuff.
ps. In this long and very entertaining piece there are also some nice book recommendations.

ps.
can someone find me a blog that rips into Robert Scoble like this? If there is such a thing as karma, there are bound to be 20 or 30 of them.
