Customer comments on this selection.
 A beautiful collection
This book is less to do with Joel and his own writing, but more to do with the wonderful writing of others.
A well researched and nicely put together collections of interesting historical articles on software development. If you enjoy getting into the thoughts and minds behind some of the greats, then this book is certainly for you.
Put together with brief introductions by Joel, this book takes you on a wonderful journey through wonderful writing.
 Would be better if Joel's ego didn't get in the way
There really are some good essays in this book, though a few of them are a little boring, and a lot of them really don't have anything to do with software development.
Joel's ego-driven introductions and blatantly obvious footnotes make me wonder what the intended audience for the book is.
 A compilation of some of the best thinking
There are a core set of principles about software development that can either be learned from years of making painful mistakes or by learning of the mistakes of others. If you've read Fred Brooks or followed Joel Spolsky's writings, you know what I mean. The writings Joel collects here are diverse and interesting; a must read for anyone looking for clarity on a variety of subjects. This book was better than I expected; and I expected it to be pretty good.
easy reading software book for a tech junkie
loved the easy read style, interesting topics, down to earth, quick discussions on numerous software development topics. found this to be both enjoyable and informative and of course opionated.
Sink or Swim
I reread this book the other day, and I had forgotten how much I love it. Two words: Eric Sink. Eric is an incredibly good writer, who of course, has at least one of his own books as well. Anyway, this compilation is terrific.
