SoftwareCEO.com has a feature
about Fog Creek Software on their home page this week: “In fact,
Spolsky takes a skeptical view of almost every bit of received wisdom
he's ever heard about running a software company. His views are
refreshing and thought-provoking, and they certainly work in his
niche.”
(Read it this week, as SoftwareCEO archives are open
to paid subscribers only.)

In June I wrote
“The old Microsoft, the Microsoft of Raymond Chen, might have
implemented things like Avalon, the new graphics system, as a series
of DLLs that can run on any version of Windows and which could be
bundled with applications that need them. There's no technical reason
not to do this. But Microsoft needs to give you a reason to buy
Longhorn...”
Microsoft: “Microsoft also announced that the
Windows WinFX developer technologies, including the new presentation
subsystem code-named ‘Avalon’ and the new communication
subsystem code-named Indigo, will be made available for Microsoft®
Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 in 2006.”
(MSDNMag 0, RaymondChen 1!)
I've been hard at work on some new code for the discussion groups.
Hopefully I'll get an experimental build up somewhere in a week or two
and we can start playing with it. It won't look very different from
the outside, so don't get too excited. I think probably the biggest
visible change will be that when you post something, you'll be able to
provide a URL that your name links to. It's a small feature that I'm
hoping will have a big effect on the anthropology of the discussion
group. Like everything else, it's an experiment. Have a great
weekend!

Dare Obasanjo at Microsoft read How
Microsoft Lost the API War and took it to heart: “The Microsoft culture is about
creating the newest, latest greatest thing that 'changes the world'
not improving what is already out there and working for customers.
When I read various Microsoft blogs and MSDN headlines about how even
though we've made paradigm shifts in developer technologies in the
recent years we aren't satisfied and want to introduce radically new
and different technologies all over again. This bothers me. I hate the
fact that 'you have to rewrite a lot of your code' is a common answer
to questions a customer might ask about how to leverage new or
upcoming functionality in a developer technology.”
It's great that some people Microsoft took my article to heart (not
just the MSDN editors, who have been running victory<
/a> laps). Now I have a confession. The reason it took me so
long to write this article is that I was afraid Microsoft would
actually listen to me, even in some small degree, even if it's just
the System.Xml.XmlDocument class. As a developer, I would much prefer
if the Raymond Chen camp won -- it sure makes my life easier -- but as
a competitor to Microsoft, I have to assume that the stupider
Microsoft is, the better.

I'm just about to leave for
the annual Spolsky family vacation... this year we've got a villa in
Umbria, Italy. I'll be passing through Rome on Monday, August 16th.
We've got a few people who have already confirmed
to meet for a dinner there, so if you'll be in town, let's meet
up!
Where: The lobby of the Aleph
Hotel
Address: Via di San Basilio, 15
When: 20.00
16/08/01
I'll make sure the concierge knows where I am. At 8 PM
when we see how many people show up, we'll find a good restaurant
that's open (not easy in August in Rome, I'm told) and talk about
software (and food (and the heat)).

Eric
Sink: “It‘s okay to be in awe of these great hackers.
But as a practical matter, small ISVs would be much better off hiring
professionals.” Agreed!
Which reminds me, I can't wait for Johanna Rothman's new book on
hiring geeks to come out. I'm reading the manuscript now and it's a
great book on a topic that doesn't get a lot of coverage.
