I agree with you. I guess the whole series was simply a reflection on how a CS degree may or may not contribute to your success. And, oh yeah, come work for us

- run4yourlives 19y agoYeah, Joel never seems to stop marketing - I wonder where he learned that! I usually don't mind it in his articles, but at a speech to a university crowd, it comes off as a little arrogant.
- dcurtis 19y agoYeah, this series was really inspirational and interesting, and the first time he mentioned Fog Creek it was funny. But at the end, that was just tacky. I like his stuff, he's an intelligent guy, but he pushes his company/products into his insightful articles/speeches almost to a fault. But then, I wont stop reading his articles and I guess that means I wont stop hearing about his company. Does that mean he's marketing successfully?
- iamelgringo 19y agoIt's an old sales adage: Never stop selling, kid. Never stop selling. And, he does it because it works. We all know what Fog Creek Software does, don't we? I betcha a number of people here have tried his bug tracking software, too.
- jgrahamc 19y agoMe. I'm currently using FogBugz at a company where I'm consulting. We haven't been using it for long, but it's nice enough. (In the past I've used Jira, Trac, Bugzilla). Overall favorite is Trac.
