Just so nobody gets confused by this comment, Joel was 40 when he wrote this, and was the program manager for Excel in the early '90s (> 10 years before this was published). So just to clarify, this was not written by a 24-year-old "peon engineer". I don't necessarily agree with what he wrote, but he does use capitalization and punctuation, so he's got that going for him.
