Joel on Software

Fog Creek Open House

We do it every summer... an open house at the Fog Creek offices in New York City.

Come on by next Thursday, July 19, 2007, between 5:00 pm and 7:00 pm to see our offices and meet the Fog Creek team including this years' interns, a.k.a. the caribou, the software management trainees, and me. It's always a fun chance to meet other software developers in the New York area and geek out about impedence mismatch. Bring your boss to prove how private offices, 30" LCDs, and Aeron chairs are possible. Drink free wine. Show off your new iPhone. No RSVP necessary.

Fog Creek Software is at 535 8th Ave., on the 18th Floor.

Have you been wondering about Distributed Version Control? It has been a huge productivity boon for us, so I wrote Hg Init, a Mercurial tutorial—check it out!

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, insanely simple project management, FogBugz, an enlightened bug tracker designed to help great teams develop brilliant software, and Kiln, which simplifies source control. I’m also the co-founder and CEO of Stack Exchange. More about me.
