He and his team created Stackoverflow, a site used by every developer every day. He's a prolific writer around software engineering & managing software engineering. He's got an incredibly blunt writing style w/o any fluff and his writing on topics such as interviewing, refactors, and technical debt are shared around often.
- paxys 7y agoHe has been industry famous since before Stack Overflow, mainly through his blog (joelonsoftware.com). Some of his writing from the early 2000s is still amazingly relevant.
- AnimalMuppet 7y agoA good site, but: Every developer every day? Hardly.
- the_af 7y agoObviously the generalization is wrong, but I bet it's not too far off the mark. All* developers google things. Google often places at the top StackOverflow hits for programming related questions. I bet that's how most "non-nerd" programmers arrive at SO. *again a generalization, but even less off the mark.
- sbayeta 7y agoI use it every day. I feel bad now...
