Joel on Software

Open House

Here at Fog Creek Software we recently finished a big expansion of our office space. If you'd like to check it out, meet the Fog Creek team and this year's crop of bright-eyed-and-bushy-tailed summer interns, please come to our open house, next Thursday, July 27th, at 5:00 pm. There will be snacks and wine.

     

    

Fog Creek is at 535 8th Ave., near 37th St., New York NY, on the 18th floor.

About the author.

I’m Joel Spolsky, co-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 Trello, easy web-based collaboration software, FogBugz, an enlightened bug tracking and software development tool, and Kiln, a distributed source control system that will blow your socks off. I’m also the co-founder and CEO of Stack Exchange. More about me.
