15 – Joel on Software

This month’s Book of the Month is an excuse for me to write a long treatise about how modern software development is a world mostly divided into two large ideological cultures: The Culture of Unix Programming and The Culture of Windows Programming.

About the author.

In 2000 I co-founded Fog Creek Software, where we created lots of cool things like the FogBugz bug tracker, Trello, and Glitch. I also worked with Jeff Atwood to create Stack Overflow and served as CEO of Stack Overflow from 2010-2019. Today I serve as the chairman of the board for Stack Overflow, Glitch, and HASH.
