I was not able to Spot the Howler in this one. Either this one was unusually good, or The Howler in this one was too subtle for my weak brain.

- evouga 4y agoWhat do you mean? Joel puts easter eggs in his posts?
- ncmncm 4y agoNo, he is just very often egregiously wrong, but in ways that we have become desensitized enough to find often hard to tease out. Usually the Howler may be traced via his inclination to treat whatever he did while at Microsoft as inherently above reproach, and not, as it often was, totally bonkers. But thinking it over, his apologetics for Lotus is the Howler, here. If Lotus really had engaged in the reasoning he suggests, they could trivially have chosen 1901 for their epoch with no compromise to accuracy.
