It's interesting to see how Joel's stance on VC-backed businesses seems to have changed over the years. I think he was clearly against it in his FogCreek/FogBugz days, but now seems to have come round to the idea. I wonder if he regrets not taking VC money earlier - maybe then FogBugz would be the new jira, and FogCreek would be as big as Atlassian.
