PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL ME to tell me about a new product, book, service that you hope I will mention on my website. I get three or four pitches every day from people promoting things that want free publicity, and all I do is add them to my spam filter.

Sadly, I probably can't respond, due to the huge volume of email that I receive every day, but I do try to read every message and very much appreciate your thoughts.

Want to tell me about a new product, website, an article you wrote, or an URL you think I would find interesting? Don't email me -- post it to the Joel Reddit (what's a reddit?).

Typos? Broken links? Grammatical issues? Don't bother telling me -- I've probably heard it already from someone else, and if I haven't fixed it yet, well, I probably don't plan to...!

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.

About the author.

I’m Joel Spolsky, founder of Fog Creek Software, a New York company that proves that you can treat programmers well and still be highly profitable. Programmers get private offices, free lunch, and work 40 hours a week. Customers only pay for software if they’re delighted. We make FogBugz, an enlightened project management system designed to help great teams develop brilliant software, and Fog Creek Copilot, which makes remote desktop access easy.
