Coding Horror blog has become must reading for programmers

[mouser]

The blog http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/ by Jeff Atwood Is rapidly becoming my favorite programming-related blog.

It's not a hardcore coding page, so non-programmers may find it interesting as well.  It's usually a breezy read which is very regularly updated with very short interesting posts and links.

Latest post tells us about an interesting new book on user interface design, and the online website it was created from (http://www.welie.com/patterns/gui/index.html).

Didn't know that one, looks interesting... http://www.thedailywtf.com/ is worth mentioning too, btw.

Check http://www.ariel.com.au/jokes/The_Evolution_of_a_Programmer.html I liked it.

(that's the sound of two cents dropping in this thread)
Does that programmer resemble anyone here?

Look here for lots of good reading on software design - informative and often very funny.

we've discussed joel spasky before on this forum: he's extremely smart, and a very good writer (i have one of his books on user interface design), and has written some fantastic pieces.

but it's also true that more than a few of us find some of his posts/writing hard to swallow in terms of tireless self promotion, and obsession with money.  rubs me the wrong way a little.

I figured you might have mentioned him before, so I searched the forum for "Spolsky" before I posted.  No hits.

There's definitely a lot of ego floating around there.  We are the best of the best of the best, etc....

i think i've talked about him on one of my blog entries as well, but here is one post touching on his writing:
