Joel on Software is Joel Spolsky‘s weblog. He usually talks about software development and about his company, Fog Creek Software. It is hard for me to explain exactly why I like his blog, but I think any software developer will understand by reading his excellent piece, Fire And Motion, which was the one which made me put his blog in my RSS feed list. Enjoy.
Raymond Chen’s blog
Raymond Chen is a evil empire Microsoft employee. His blog is very popular among developers, or at least that’s the impression I get. However, it is not only a development blog. Raymond, being a Microsoft veteran, has many interesting and amusing stories about Microsoft’s early days, Interesting observations and, of course, a lot (and I mean a lot!) of useful developer lessons which he passes on in a concise way. He occasionally whines about stuff, but that’s ok too (about that last link – I think that Google introduced a great UI for their map service. So if I’m looking for a place that Google already has data for in “Google Maps” then that’s where I’ll go).
