Too bad Joel stopped blogging about software... Looking at this last XX posts I don't see anything about software. Joel is getting old... :-)

  '... Too bad Joel stopped blogging about software... ...' I've noticed this as well. A while ago he lamented the fact there was nothing more to write about (i forget the exact post, article it was in) having got everything off his chest about software & software development (old skool desktop mainly). But don't despair. I think a lot of the stuff he's pump(ed & ing) out is ahead of the curve. The articles are what you need to know a bit further up the line. Not as useful in the immediate as when you expand beyond survival mode. What do you do when you need to know about - design an office ~ http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/BionicOffice.html http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/BionicOffice.html - learn about management skills ~ http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2006/08/07.html http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2006/08/07.html - why writing is essential ~ http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/SortingResumes.html http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/SortingResumes.html - larger picture ~ http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/DevelopmentAbstraction.html http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/DevelopmentAbstraction.html - how to ship physical things ~ http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/HowToShipAnything.html http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/HowToShipAnything.html "... Useful software written above the level of the single device ...." Jeff Stutz wrote this on leaving Microsoft ( http://www.synthesist.net/writing/onleavingms.html http://www.synthesist.net/writing/onleavingms.html ). I view JOS, "useful advice written above the level of a startup".
