- ocoster 10y agoYou may be gone, but not forgotten, never that, Jeff :)
- mattmanser 10y agoCorrect me if I'm wrong, but I always got the impression from the podcasts that while you both designed it, it was more you actually programming it. I could be mis-remembering after all this time! Didn't you quit your job and program it while Joel was still mainly focused on Fog Creek day-to-day?
- codinghorror 10y agoYes, it was Joel's famous "servant leadership". We brainstormed ideas once a week on weekly calls (which became the podcast) and he trusted me (and Geoff and Jarrod, the first two people at the company after the founders) to build Stack Overflow as we saw fit. Community feedback was a huge part of that feedback cycle once the beta was live.
