That is absolutely vintage Joel. And he's right.
Ray Ozzie and the rest of MS should have realized by now that the only thing that really works is building something. Give us something to criticize. Look at YUI. It's not great in places, but at least it works, and it there, and available to play with, and fun, and cross-platform.
It's coming to something when the most interesting thing out of MS is probably F#, and Photosynth. Aren't these from MSR?
What is the rest of MS doing?
[Personally I'd be glad if they finally got round to fixing all the damn non-resizable dialogs in their apps, which infest all MS software like cockroaches.]
- michaelneale 19y agoSimon Peyton-Jones and his work on Haskell is very interesting.
- neilc 19y agoHe's also at MSR -- the folks at MSR are doing lots of very interesting work.
- slackerIII 19y agoIt is absolutely vintage joel in that it is a FogCreek recruiting ad. Joel has mastered the art of using fanboyism as marketing. "Oh look -- Microsoft is doing something big! I'm sure it sucks! haha Come work for me"
