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.

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.
