Joel on Software on resumes 01/26/2004 12:42 PM

Killer Joel on Software rant about how to write a tech resume -- though this could handily apply to any situation where you're trying to wheedle a favor out of someone alongside of many other wheedlers: sending a manuscript to a publisher, raising money from investors, or even trying to get someone to blog your project.

Don't tell me about one of the requirements of the position and then tell me that you don't want to follow it. "One of the requirements for Summer Internship says that you need to interview in person in New York City. I am interested in the position but I stay in East Nowhere, TN." OK, that's nice, hon, you stay there. Another PS, I thought we said in the requirements "Excellent command of written and spoken English." Oh, yes, indeed, that was our first requirement. So at least do yourself a favor and get someone to check your cover letter for obvious mistakes. Like I said, don't give me an excuse to throw your resume in the trash.

Cory Doctorow: Joel "on Software" Splosky put together a Best of Software Writing anthology filled with articles he's cadged from blogs and other web-writing (he kindly included my Boing Boing post on Notice and Takedown regimes in Canada). The contributor list is fantastic:
Ken Arnold, Leon Bambrick. Michael Bean, Rory Blyth, Adam Bosworth, danah boyd, Raymond Chen, Kevin Cheng and Tom Chi, Cory Doctorow, ea_spouse, Bruce Eckel, Paul Ford, Paul Graham, John Gruber, Gregor Hohpe, Ron Jeffries, Eric Johnson, Eric Lippert, Michael Lopp, Larry Osterman, Mary Poppendieck, Rick Schaut, Aaron Swartz, Clay Shirky, Eric Sink, why the lucky stiff
The book is out now -- I'm looking forward to getting my copy!
The software development world desperately needs better writing. If I have to read another 2000 page book about some class library written by 16 separate people in broken ESL, I’m going to flip out. If I see another hardback book about object oriented models written with dense faux-academic pretentiousness, I’m not going to shelve it any more in the Fog Creek library: it’s going right in the recycle bin. If I have to read another spirited attack on Microsoft’s buggy code by an enthusiastic nine year old Trekkie on Slashdot, I might just poke my eyes out with a sharpened pencil. Stop it, stop it, stop it!

Joel on Eric


Joel on Eric 12/15/2003 09:11 PM

Joel Spolsky's latest essay reviews Eric Raymond's The Art of Unix Programming (a book I really want to pick up) and uses it as background for a discussion of the cultural differences between Windows and Unix programmers. As always, it's an insightful piece.

Joel's key point is that while Unix programmers write code for other programmers, Windows programmers write code for end users. Unix programs end up being far more powerful and flexible, but Windows programs allow Aunt Madge to send email. Joel places the blame for the lack of success of Linux as a desktop operating systems on the cultural values that underpin it, which celebrate the diversity of multiple window managers rather than condeming them for confusing end users.

It's all good stuff. I'd argue that the rise of web-based applications balances the playing field somewhat in terms of ease of use of the different platforms - most people can handle a web application now (look at the success of webmail) and most browser behave in pretty much the same way no matter what operating system they run on. I guess that's why Microsoft were so scared of Netscape back in 1996.

Berkeley on Joel Spolsky


Berkeley on Joel Spolsky 02/10/2004 02:56 AM

Surrounded by geeks
One of the great things about living in Berkeley is that a lot of interesting people come to town, from political figures giving talks on campus to writers at Cody's to musicians playing at Freight and Salvage, and if you are at all adventurous you can hear and meet many of them. Tonight Berkeley was host to a leading light from the small world of software product and project management, (which also happens to be my profession, to the extent I have one), Joel Spolsky, who writes a well-regarded weblog on software management, Joel on Software. The venue was a funny one, a cafe called Au Coquelet that also served as my alternative office and favorite lunch spot for the eight years that I had an office around the corner. It is a business person's lunch place and a student's dinner and study and hang out place. So I walked into the cafe tonight and looked around for the Joel group -- like any other geek, I was too shy to ask anyone, but when I spotted a big table lined entirely with males, mostly in their mid-twenties to early forties, not too well dressed, predominantly European-American, I knew that I had found the geek gathering. It was a curious scene. Joel was ensconced at the first table, attempting to swallow bites of foot between responding to questions. Latecomers like myself were filling in the table around the corner, where we slowly warmed up to each other by discussing computers in education and citing favorite Joel essays like The Law of Leaky Abstractions, 12 Steps to Better Code, and Fire And Motion. The crowd included its share of local luminaries, such as Berkeley tech writer Scott Mace, Salon Managing Editor Scott Rosenberg, Ten Speed Press founder Phil Wood, Perl Guru Sriram "Ram" Srinivasan, plus the usual crowd of dot-com crash victims, cashed-out retirees and survivors looking for the next interesting thing that I run into at any tech gatherings these days. Next to us were two undergraduate women, who slowly got more and more alarmed as more men kept arriving and hauling over tables, eventually enveloping them on three sides, at which point the women got up and left.
Head Geek Joel
It is always fun meeting someone whom one knows only through their writing, and to compare their online persona to their physical one. In his writing in Joel on Software, Joel always comes across as a little Olympian, delivering his deep insights from his vast experience. Actually, I suspect that he just thinks more analytically about his experience than most of us, and he writes very well. His online persona is calm, considered, and wise. As another C alifornian reviewer noted, even though his website sports a picture of the skyline of Seattle, Joel Spolsky in person definitely comes across like a New Yorker, especially when surrounded by a sea of Californians. He spoke rapidly, intensely, bobbing his head as he held forth with opinions on all matters technical, changing topics with every other sentence, and punctuating each topic with a wisecrack. Although claiming exhaustion from his travels, he was the most energetic person in the room, and he was clearly performing, and performing well. He seemed to enjoy his performance as well, and he was good at it. Talking to him, it was clear that he would be very hard to best in an argument, because, as anyone who reads Joel on Software knows, he has a lot of intellectual horsepower and can express himself very well, but also because he clearly has a lot of stamina for arguing, and would be hard to outlast. The major deviation that he exhibited from the New York stereotype was his politeness. After he finished his meal he got up and moved to another table to talk with some of the other folks who had come, then after a while moved to the next table. He was as attentive to the questions of the twenty-something programmers as he was to those of the local luminaries. One of the things that was curious was to see the crowd (myself included) surrounding Joel and treating him like a Delphic Oracle, asking him "what are Mozilla/Firebird's chances of establishing browser competition again(good), how do you decide what features to put in the next version of Fog Buzz (whatever features the lack of which clearly blocked sales of the last version), what would you use for developing a cross-platform GUI desktop app (don't know). After all, even if he is smarter than I am he probably isn't any smarter than many of the people I've worked with over the years. What's the difference? He writes, frequently and well. It's nice to know that writing still can bring authority, as well as a bit of celebrity. All in all, a very pleasant and informative evening. Thank you Joel for organizing it.

Joel Spolsky and the Temple of Doom


Joel Spolsky and the Temple of Doom 06/19/2004 10:41 AM
I'm back, with a very interesting topic too!

Joel Spolsky, ex-Microsoft Manager and software engineering guru has a new essay, How Microsoft Lost the API War that is creating quite a big storm in the blogging communitiy.

Joel posits that the priests in the holy Temple of Microsoft have lost their way, because it has split into two factions, and the wrong faction is winning. One faction worships on the alter of backward compatibility, while the other is led by fervent priests who are proselytizing to raise up the new gods of .NET and Longhorn. Joel suggests that the new gods will cause the destruction of the holy Temple because Microsoft's great victories were built on the altar of keeping customers happy with backward compatibility. Furthermore the old gods of the Windows API continue to grow more grotesque and cruel with the passing of time, driving former worshipers into the arms of the friendlier gods of World Wide Web.

This story sounds extremely plausible. I must admit that i fit the profile of the developer who used to develop on the Window's API, is familiar with COM and Win32 who now develops mostly using PHP and Python. However I continue to develop and maintain Windows apps that keep our customers happy. There's something fishy about his plausible argument. Some points:

Temple of the Blind?

Firstly, Microsoft is still a compelling place to work for to people who feel that they can make a difference. The Temple continues to attract talented people with a Unix background. For example we have the recent hiring of Ward Cunningham, author of the Wiki. Microsoft is still able to keep talented people like Raymond Chen, and others like him who continue to look after the Windows API, and Longhorn apparently will still give high priority to backward compatibility. Open sourcerers like Miguel Icaza are sufficiently attracted to the .NET vision to stake their careers on Mono. Longhorn and .NET are compelling technologies, so even if Win32 is not so cute anymore, M'soft is providing something over the horizon that remains very attractive.

Temple of the Spider?

Secondly, people don't merely use a web browser. They run the web browser in the OS. So let me ask you, if you are using DreamWeaver or HomeSite or Photoshop or vi or emacs or Gimp, how many of you are willing to give it up for a java applet (or whatever your favorite technology is) running in your web-browser? Precisely.

Temple of the Abandoned?

Third, Joel makes the extravagant claim that developers are not developing to the Windows API. Well if you are using a framework like Delphi or wxWindows then you certainly are insulated from the Windows API, but that doesn't mean that you're not calling the Windows API all the time. I don't see Borland dropping their Windows version of Delphi at any point in time. Joel's argument that developers are dropping Windows like flies sounds attractive to those who have swallowed the open source kool-aid, but i don't think that it fully matches reality.

Temple of the Lost

I do think that Microsoft's IE team has lost their way, and are probably pawns in a bigger game, but that doesn't mean that Microsoft has already lost. And the open source world would be a much poorer place without worthy competitors such as Windows and MacOS.

Joel Spolsky is a first-class writer, in the same order as Philip Greenspun or Eric Raymond. That makes him persuasive and plausible. I think that we aren't talking about Indiana Jones and doomed temples here, but Steve Jobs and reality distortion fields.

Other opinions: Harry Fuecks, Robert McLaws and Oliver Travers.

RDF-simple-API.

RDF-simple-API

There is currently a lot of talk on the rdfdev list over converting a version of RAP to work with a simple FOAF parser that only needs to grab a few things.

Well, I agree with this on principle, I also feel that 'feature creep' is what kills (or at least partially dooms a lot of projects) and as I used to tell overzealous project managers "Lets just get this working with the minimal features first" before going head over heels into some bell or whistle or 'blinky-light' you (or the client) would like to see in it.

I usually try to work this way. I manage most of the time but often even I get stuck in the "it has to do 'everything'" mode and that will kill my productivity for a day or two until I grab myself and shake for a while until I am back to the "core" of what needs to be done.

When I worked as a systems analyst and would be creating diagrams of core functionality for this or that it really helped refine for developers (which I also was one of) and everyone involved because it gave you a map. (last count I have done DFD's, ERD's etc and even data dictionaries for over a hundred projects that have been brought to completion for clients.)

So, lets just have a nice map for where this is going "before" jumping off a proverbial bridge and then trying to swing a grappling hook back up as we are falling.

Ask a few questions (I know it seems simple, but bear with me):
1) What does it 'need' to do?
2) What language(s) does it 'need' to be done in?
3) What does the client want that can wait for a later refine and further work? (i.e. what can they live without that they say they cannot?)
4) What exactly do we need to do to support this?
5) and finally, is there something that 'works' currently out there so we don't have to do this at all? (programmers are lazy by nature...)

Note the use of the word "need" above, if it does not fit in that, it is extra and can wait or be tossed.

As an example, for core functionality of FOAFnet, why the hell would we ever want to put in WOT or airport codes? It is not and will never be needed for that. (For sub-projects yes, but not for FOAFnet core)

Anyway, I propose a marriage of a couple of things.

1) a pre-existing class that has already been done that can handle everything we currently need (triples-based-parsing) and it is faster than RAP and sits at around 30k if you rip the comments.

2) my little rdf->tree parser which is easy. (here is the source) which is geared towards being nothing but fast but is easily extensible with more functions. (it fufills some of my core functionality for simplicity and has already proved itself in the "real world" for a scutter I wrote to comb through foafs (lj, typepad etc all that)

I think that joining those two is perfect and that I what I will be working on. RAP for base level usuage will still be too big because once you made room to put in the kitchen sink you can't unmake the room.

Another reality (that some people are going to have to be force-fed) is that people who handroll their FOAF's are currently in the MAJOR minority [editor's note: sorry]. Almost all FOAF being used today is generated on the big sites and uses only a small portion of the FOAF vocab and then only the most stable and useful portions [of FOAF] or portions that are easy to infer from their current data.
 
A lot of people are seriously paranoid about privacy issues.  For instance, the most oft asked question about the MeNowDocument vocab is privacy issues. i.e. do people really need to know this about me, and would anyone really care? I feel I have addressed a lot of these issues in the spec itself (i.e. it is obviously optional, and scripts handle most of it.) Anyway I digress.

Handrolled FOAF's I predict will cease to exist within a year or two at most. [editor's note: here here]

This is a "machine" readable and "writable" format people, and honestly, how often do you "view source" on webpages anymore?

Feel free to disagree, but if you do, at least let me know why.
 
Joel has been getting attacked for writing a simple, fast, highly optimized FOAF parser that ONLY recognizes the parts of FOAF - which are in our FOAFnet spec.
 
On one side you can say "that's all we need, so let's not worry about anything else" - while on the other side  you can fear that your well tuned, highly refined, incredibly elegant architecture and plans - which aren't done yet - will never happen, because your spec is being highjacked by short term thinking malcontents.
 
Guess which side I'm on?
 
Folks just have to realize that we have to take baby steps before we can walk.  It's really hard to get 25-50 companies - to all agree on a spec for passing entire social networks between systems.
 
But we promise - we really do - that we'll add more FOAF vocabulary - juicy items like Node ID, foaf:knows or rel:acquaintance - just as soon as we get really basic import/export working - with JUST:
- name
- image (depiction)
- email (sha1sum encrypted)
- and a list of names of friends
That's it.
 
 
This is a message that Joel De Gan needed to send to the FOAFnet and rdfweb heads who were trying to tell him that his optmized parser was........

Resumes are Micro-content 07/01/2004 04:59 PM

Right on to my brother Lucas Gonze - who not only groks it (in regards to Resumes)- but is also helping to establish playlists as a clear, open, sharable new kind of micro-content!

Lucas writes....

I know of three kinds of syndicateable microcontent right now: reviews, weblog entries, and playlists. It just struck me that resumes are microcontent.

We could easily have standard XML format for resumes. Given that, resume editors could compete to be the best at handling the standard, XSLT and CSS could be developed independently of any one resume, and job sites could import the data rather than force the user to type it into a custom format.

Update from George Hotelling:

The HR XML project already has a schema for resumes.
