Project Aardvark
If you’re like me and you love reading Joel on Software, you probably already know about Project Aardvark. If you haven’t heard of either, I highly encourage you to start reading both.
First, you should read Joel on Software. Not only because Joel Spolsky is chock-full of experience in software business, programming and usability, but he writes really well. I’ll go as far as to say it’s entertaining to read. Actually, he’s an A-list blogger. You could spend hours being entertained and getting passed years of experience in his archive or by reading one of his books.
Project Aardvark is a project Joel has given his interns for the summer. He actually gave his interns the chance to develop and market a software product for his company! Not only that, he told them to blog about it. Now you get more insights into working with Joel and the other amazing people at Fog Creek as they work on a software product from soup to nuts.
Now that I think about, I should add Joel to my list of personal heroes.
