Joel, if any, has always been super pragmatic and very realistic.
Not to misunderstand. For FogBugz they wrote a compiler/transpiler for Asp and PHP because the product had to run on customers servers - because "clients should not leave their private data at another company".
Google it, great read.
- tommica 7y agoTried to google for it, couldn't find anything - could you provide a link, please?
- toyg 7y agoFor the details on that transpiler: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2005/03/30/the-road-to-fogbugz-40-part-iii/ https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2005/03/30/the-road-to-fogbug... I would recommend going through all of Joel Spolsky’s posts between 2000 and 2010, there are plenty of absolute diamonds. Part of why StackOverflow was so successful was because Joel had built a big audience of geeks and entrepreneurs with his excellent blog posts (he was the Excel PM during the creation of VBA and had plenty of accrued wisdom to share), so they adopted SO almost instantaneously when him and Jeff Atwood built it.
