I love a good rant. Especially about software. Joel is one of the best ranters out there – when he gets going there is no stopping him. Last week’s rant was titled Architecture astronauts take over. He takes Microsoft Live Mesh to task and reminds us of the legacy of Hailstorm, Groove, Lotus Notes, and – well – the past. And he explains why synchronization is not the killer app. Well – it sort of it – as long as we don’t realize it’s happening. But then again, the real problem is that there just aren’t enough programmers in the US anymore.
Joel – nice rant.
