I’ve been developing software for likely longer than you’ve been alive.
That article you posted makes a supposition; that the developer is just misreading existing code to be poor when it’s actually really good–which is absolutely not the case with Windows…
Stating the fact that I’ve been in development for longer than most people I converse with have been alive isn’t attacking anyone. If you feel attacked by someone because they have a difference of opinion, then you need to go outside.
You don’t even know who Joel is.
I know who Spolsky is. I just don’t have an overabundant need to blow smoke up his ass like his word is that of Gods.
Joel addressed your argument that the code is misread throughout the entire essay.
Go get your reading glasses and go back to reread my previous post. It’s not my argument that code is misread. I was literally directly quoting him. So if Joel says it, it’s the word of God to you, but you misinterpret something I’m saying (which he’s actually saying) and now all of a sudden you have an issue with it?
That’s pretty telling that maybe your reverence for Joel is getting in the way of your brains thinky-thinky party.

I’m approaching 60.
How old are you? I’m guessing you are like 40. You don’t even know who Joel is.

My age isn’t important to the argument. That’s not an opinion.
I noticed now that I posted my age you didn’t respond with yours.
You can’t get past personal attacks. First it was I’m too young. When that attack didn’t work, it’s now I’m too old.
