Hate mail? My email address is kIUj&%(#tho@ex,o?DG?> (No, Really!)

Want to tell me about a new product, website, an article you wrote, or an URL you think I would find interesting? Don't email me -- post it to the Joel Reddit (what's a reddit?).

Typos? Corrections? Don't tell me about them! Here's why: I always find out about the typo from dozens of people within minutes of posting it. (It's true!) I can't always fix it right away and so every typo on my site generates dozens of extra messages I have to sort through.

I wish I had time to respond to everyone who writes, but regretably, my email inbox has been certified as an Official Disaster Area(TM), and much as I would like to, I just don't have time to reply. I do appreciate your email and try to read every message.

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.
