Man, I have been a Slashdot reader for several years, and I have noticed before that the audience/posters really can be really acidic/negative at some times.
But this is ridiculous. All of you people nagging on Spolsky, have you at least read some of his articles at all? They are really good, suggest a pragmatic hands-on approach to software development, and are a real joy to read.
And please, I am not a Microsoft freak at all, but could you for once acknowledge that they have done some things right?
And you are really anal, focusing on small details instead of getting the point. What does it matters if Spolsky had this or that position at Microsoft, or if he in fact participated in active programming or not.
In fact he did, read

You are really a bunch of sad whiners, and I am sick of you. Bye slashdot, I am tired of your inmature and negative crowd.
