Paranoia is a virtue

Joel on Software: Selected Essays

If you don’t know this yet - the book is available at Amazon.com for pre-ordering. The relevant link is here. I think this will be very well spent $16.99 ;-)

The mandatory disclaimer: I’m not in any way associated with Joel Spolsky or Fog Creek Software. I just think that it’ll be very beneficial to have all his essays in hard cover.

hmm. Selected essays I have already read from an easy-to-access website. Where's the value in that? I can see you might want (say) a C# reference guide, at hand, but not this.
