I’ve been reading a lot of Joel on Software recently by a guy called Joel Spolsky. He’s already very famous in the blogging scene and you can tell why even after reading a single article. He’s clearly a very clever man with some very sound views on how businesses should be run.
I frequently find myself relating with the examples he uses for bad companies and the things they do wrong with the job I am in at the moment. Okay, so it’s not a Chinese Textile Factory but he really does a good job at enlightening you to the possibility of something greater. I find it extremely depressing that I am working in a company that seems so backwards. We’re meant to be a cutting edge industry but all the fluff that goes on just makes it seem like a dusty lawyer’s office with a very systematic approach to work ethics.
