Joel on Software

I am not having any problems with Google

A very irresponsible journalist, Paul Boutin, wrote a whole story in the Industry Standard which appears to me made up from whole cloth.

He is attributing, to me, a comment posted by an anonymous poster.

I am not using Google Apps, I did not write the comment in question, basically none of the things that Boutin said I did are true.

A part of the problem is the design of my discussion groups, which look too much like the main Joel on Software site. A part of the problem is unregistered, anonymous posters... that will be turned off immediately. Another part of the problem is The New Tech Journalism, which will have to remain a rant for another day.

College students: my company has paid summer internships in New York City, including free housing, free lunch, and the chance to develop software people will really use, with great mentors on interesting projects. Don't miss this chance of a lifetime. We only have a few spaces and they always go fast, so apply today.

You’re reading Joel on Software, stuffed with years and years of completely raving mad articles about software development, managing software teams, designing user interfaces, running successful software companies, and rubber duckies.
