This is the least important article I read all day.
The next time I brush my teeth maybe malda willpublish a story on that.
I don't want to be here.
"Read about what went into the design of "the ultimate software development environment" from your (my) cube and drool."
And that is why the unwashed, pathetic virgins of Slashdot are Morbo's "Vermin of the Week".
Fuck you all to merry hell.
I actually read it as (following the "architecture queen")
'We have a gay team'
'On a scale of one to gay, all of our developers are at least nine'
'We hire only the top two percent. Of gay people.'
Just teasing of course, but come on now, the 99.9th percentile?
He must be using a MAGIC scale...with MAGIC!

He says, "the build-out was done on budget and paid for almost entirely by the landlord."

You can't even give away development tools today. He'll be out of business in nine months
Don't worry, Joel doesn't understand true Extreme Programming so he won't make you do it.
I'm not convinced that having somebody look over my shoulder while I'm typing increases productivity.
You're 100% correct. That's why XP doesn't suggest that someone looks over your shoulder while you type. It suggests that you work with someone all the time. "Working with" != "being supervised by".
well considering his buzzblog or whatever is that he's selling is fuckig bugzilla with a new style sheet, I wouldn't say he's that elite.
