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.
