More specifically, the competing product he's referring to is probably Atlassian's JIRA (bug tracking software).
I for one thought that Joel sounded a bit sour and jealous.
Is it that Fog Creek is losing its "market leadership position"? (was Fog Creek ever a market leader?)
- pchristensen 17y agoI wouldn't say jealous, more like disoriented to realize that his business hypothesis might be invalid. He designed his company to be a high quality competitor among many, but now he's got to face a category killer which requires very different tactics. A core part of his business has to change to something he doesn't necessarily want.
