Joel on BillG

Via Daring Fireball, a link to Joel Spolsky's new story, "My First BillG Review". Kind of programmer-technical, but as always with Joel, well-written and entertaining.

In my BillG review meeting, the whole reporting hierarchy was there, along with their cousins, sisters, and aunts, and a person who came along from my team whose whole job during the meeting was to keep an accurate count of how many times Bill said the F word. The lower the f***-count, the better.

Bill came in.

I thought about how strange it was that he had two legs, two arms, one head, etc., almost exactly like a regular human being.
