Joel on Software

2001/06/14

I know, it looks the same to you ... but this version of Joel On Software is actually running on a new server inside the Fog Creek offices.

I've been having a lot of fun (!) discovering all the places in Manila where URLs are hardcoded. Even though we're going to redirect the URL joel.editthispage.com to the new computer, I'd like to get rid of as many hardcoded URLs as possible to make sure the site stays portable. There are zillions of links to static.userland.com, a server back at UserLand, which I'm manually adjusting to point to some machine inside Fog Creek.

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.

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.
