I was going to reply that Joel quit blogging already, opened a his site to find a prooflink - and wow! He actually writes new stuff, and even the site looks new. Anyway, the old-time Joel posts should be required reading to anyone who even wants to be a developer. And should certainly be re-read once in every 3-5 years or so.

Probably one of the best blog ever, programming or not, because it's not just good, it's so damn genuine. Also http://thedailywtf.com/ http://thedailywtf.com/

  I followed that for a long time, but stopped a few years ago as the articles felt so fake and/or fluffed up.

    Do anything for a long time and in a very busy life and you start picking habits, patterns. When you write a blog for so long it's obvious you will develop a tone, style and way of writting that will feel deja-vue. And of course you can't be a genious every day so many time you rely on a formula you know works for you when the spark isn't there. That does't make it less genuine. If anything, it's human. Plus they have a (fantastic) business to run so it get influenced by it. Still, the last articles on password were high quality material.

Oh interesting, it looks like Joel on Software recently got an update. Apart from cosmetic changes, there are now a number of recommended reading lists to help you find articles you might like. https://www.joelonsoftware.com/#reading-lists https://www.joelonsoftware.com/#reading-lists

Joel on Software is a brilliant blog. Read through all the posts a couple of years back, all of them were interesting and well written; a lot of them were solid gold.
