Joel would be one of the least concerned about how incentive pay affects his profit - he spends way more than average per developer, but in the areas where he thinks it has a positive effect, like above average salary, good desks/chair, etc.
You may dislike Joel, but but that's a stupid argument.
- gaius 18y agoI like Joel, and have subscribed to his blog for years, and what he say often seems to make a lot of sense. However, I know a lot of people in this industry, and I don't know a single one who uses a Fog Creek product. That, to me, speaks volumes.
- cdr 18y agoYou don't personally know anyone who uses Fog Creek software, and that means what? Fog Creek is a failure? Fog Creek looks to be doing quite well whether you know anyone who uses their products or not.
- gaius 18y agoIt means that Joel's writing, while good writing, carries no more weight than any other tech blogger (of which there are many).
