Joel on Software

A lot of travelling

Somewhere in the world, there's a conference organizing school, and they must teach you there that all conferences have to be held during March. This month I'll be in California more than New York:

First stop: O'Reilly ETech in San Diego, where I'll give a quick status report on the state of affairs in UI design. At another session, I'll give some tips on usability testing.

Then to Austin for SXSW where I'm on some kind of panel entitled Sink or Swim: The Five Most Important Startup Decisions. Here's a good startup decision: work on your products instead of hanging out at "interactive festivals" in Texas.

Next, it's back to California for SDWest 2006 where Tyler and I will take questions at a screening of Aardvark'd and, hopefully, bring home some lucite beverages.

After a few minutes at home, I'll be appearing at Eclipsecon (Is Java the new Cobol?) and visiting Y Combinator.

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.

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.
